Top Natural Remedies for Rash Relief – Soothe Itchy Skin Naturally

Nu-Stock

A number of years ago, we acquired a German Shepherd with a severe case of mange, covering about 1/3 of his body. The vet's expensive prescription products hardly touched it. After a lot of study, I found a product generally used for horses to heal wounds and rashes. It's called Nu-Stock. It cleared the mange up after only 2 applications and it has never returned. His hair grew back very quickly, and although he wasn't too thrilled with the first application, he WANTED the second one very much. The itching stopped immediately.

A couple years later, my daughter had a rash that no doctor seemed able to get rid of. We tried the Nu-Stock and it cleared right up and hasn't returned.

I've had a problem with athlete's foot for years. I tried all the other remedies and it got rid of "most" of it, but there was a spot on the ball of one foot, including two toes where it just wouldn't go away. One day it occurred to me to try Nu-Stock. After just a couple of applications, the skin was back to normal, all itching gone, and it appears to be healing permanently. I think this is going to finally kill it!!!

Doing a little studying, I've found that Nu-Stock is 73% sulphur, 25% mineral oil, and 2% pine oil.

I've also discovered that there are other health products made for pets that aren't available for people. For instance, in the local Farm & Fleet, you can buy a cheap package of electrolytes for your pet's water. 16 oz. of DMSO was only $5. And there were other things as well, most of them in the section for horses! Isn't it amazing that you can buy products for your pets, cheaply, and you can't get prescription products that work for yourself???

Soda Cystals

Carbicarb remedy which is a solution for many symptoms!! I had painful red itchy hands with pimples after working in the garden and i took 1/4 teaspoon of soda crystals (baking soda and sodium bicarbonate) in a glass of water the trademark is Tricel, made in the Netherlands, and in one hour the symptoms were gone. I also had running nose and the soda crystals dried my nose. My nose sometimes gets blocked and with daily use of soda crystals can return your nose to its normal condition and opened sinuses. Soda crystals does a lot! It helps my mother sleep easily, it alkalises your brain, helps your hypothalamus and help your exhausted adrenal glands to recover.This remedy and advice i got from Ted, he advised me to take daily soda crystals with a lot of water... It is helping my thyroid problem as well as i have hypothyroidism. I hope it will clean my liver too from the fats and clean it like it cleans a dirty plate. Thanx Ted for the great help you give with your advice as always. You are the best website!!! And Ted is the best! What do we do without Ted? What do we do without Earthclinic? We would probably die.. I am telling everyone i know how great Earthclinic is and they are checking your site.

This is called Washing Soda in the US, and is one ingredient, Sodium Carbonate. I read that sodium bicarbonate is heated to high temperatures to get sodium carbonate. And it is good for so many things, as you said! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Anti-Fungal Medication

Posted by Aw (Santa Fe, Nm) on 04/23/2011

For your mouth and body as a whole try Oil Pulling. Google it. It is great for the entire body because it removes toxins. Continue doing it twice daily. Go on a yeast free diet. Clean every single thing in your home and continue to disinfect everything as the days pass.

Continue to treat the candida with a variety of potions including oregano oil, coconut oil, epsom salt and baking powder poltices, etc. Yeast is a living organ that mutates and mimics other diseases. You have to be persistent. Eventually the balance is struck.

Apple Cider Vinegar

I break out in hives from food allergies. The last rash of hives was very bad and would stop itching so I rub AVC on it and it burned but the itching stopped and the rash wash gone in about a week. I also have herpes so I though I would try it on a sore and again the itch disappeared and the sore healed in two days. Next I am going to try drinking it and hopefully it will help prevent the allergies and outbreaks. I applied the AVC twice a day with a cotton ball.

ACV used half & half with honey makes a very good cough syrup which will also cure strep. When my 3 youngest children got chickenpox at the same time, the older and younger to the 3 were faring much better than the middle one who kept running a fever. The next morning he had classic scarlet fever rash in groin to explain why. Yep, ACV / honey mixture to the rescue - I gave all 3 a tsp. every two hours or so. Next morning the ones rash in groin was decreased, and the other 2 never got it. I kept them on it for a couple more days.

After hospitals dis- covered they were spreading pseudomonas aurugenosis (?) via the oxygen equipment, they removed this "hospital scourge infection" by soaking the equipment in 1 part vinegar - 7 parts water, so who knows what else it will cure.

Molasses

I was so surprised to hear that blackstrap molasses is actually good for your health. When I was a small child we ate it as a treat with warm biscuits. I used to love it. After I read this I decided to try it on warm rye crisp bread today. It tastes great. And amazingly, a few hours after eating it I noticed that this ugly skin rash I had is completely cleared up and my skin looks great.

Mylanta

I have found Mylanta poured on a bottom clears up diaper rash over night, as well as soreness from diahrea. My dr. told me about this when my now 3 yr old was 8 months old...I've used it ever since. When baby has severe rash from diahrea simply put them in the sink or tub w/ just enough water to cover bottom and add mylanta...let them soak for a bit, then pat dry pour in diaper and let them go to bed...will be nearly to completely gone by morning.

Ginger Root

I use ginger to prevent this horrific rash. I juice a pound of root into a couple dozen mini ice cubes and plop them into my teas, soups, sauces, stews, etc. I am curious that only the yellow ginger root works and not the brown ginger. Would appreciate feedback on the difference between the two types. I've had the rash for over ten years. Just discovered the ginger remedy over a year ago. I have appr. twenty pounds(pre-juice weight) of frozen ginger cubes in my freezer because I am such a strong believer in it's power to keep my horrific rash in check.

Raw Honey for diaper rashes: my grandfather used to raise honey bees, and sell the honey. my mother used the raw honey on diaper rashes. it was all that ever touched the bums of my three younger sisters. she had a small container of it in the diaper bag, and some q-tips to apply it. i love telling people about this. they don't believe me, but a few have tried it.

Is he having some type of allergic reaction? Have you switched laundry soaps recently? I for one develop terrible itchy welts from the brighteners in most laundry soaps!

Medicated powder with starch in it is the thing that worked for red rash under the skin fold. I tried everything. Had it for weeks Then I got this from CVS and it two days it was gone.

Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking Soda

After battling a rash with what appeared to be whitehead pimples, on the inside elbow of my right arm, ACV actually did not work. Yikes! Luckily, TED's advice of HP & Baking Soda paste on it for 1/2hr (I did it twice on the same day) and it worked! I had had an outbreak last summer, too. I now realize I was probably drinking too much coffee lately, which likely aided it).

So the actual rash is gone now. But my question is: "What kind of rash is it when it feels like I have teeny-tiny glass shards embedded in my skin?". Not really of course, but it certainly feels that way. Anybody know? It's an interesting symptom.

Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking Soda

Posted by Katzie (Calgary) on 04/27/2023

Thank you, Chica. Since it gave me zero pain, I am now leaning towards the cause being Herpes. I have had an occasional cold sore my entire life. This was mentioned in the article you linked to, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to do it. I would have never found that interesting article on my own!

EC: Type "caprylic acid, pau d arco, grapefruit seed extract, tree tree oil" into an Amazon search box and you will see one particular supplement pop up.

Epsom Salt, Oregano Oil

Posted by Bd (Texas) on 07/27/2016

Internal parasite infections and the waste that they create can cause serious skin issues. Try going to a naturopath and get tested for parasites There are many good herbal formulas if that is the issue. Good luck.

Stinging Nettles and Calamine Lotion

Posted by Dee (Southern Ca.) on 05/07/2016

Thought I had Ring worm. NO!

I had skin irritations on my left hand and the irritation look just like Ringworm, the rash was in pink rings! So I thought it was ringworm. Even my elbow developed a perfect ring around the elbow itself. And since I feed stray cats and help or spay them if they need help I thought I may have gotten ring worm from one of the cats. (They didn't seem to have ringworm).

Well the irritation was frustrating (as usual) and I tried products at the pharmacy for Ringworm.

The nice Pharmacist recommended Tinactin.

The spray powder seemed to work best! But this treatment would only seem to help soothe not rid me of the rash. The rash only seemed to become dormant. And then it would return? And there were other new spots?

This only happened to one hand and limb. My right hand and limb was rash free. Then I thought maybe it was something other than Ringworm.

It also itched like crazy and when only Calamine lotion would stop the itching I then realized the rash might be something else and not ringworm. I have Stinging Nettle weed on my property (and I do weed) and I started putting Calamine lotion on the rash and noticed that I could pull little barbs out of my skin! Some of what I pulled out seemed like little wires on my elbow!

I was able to allow the Calamine lotion to dry and then I could pull little barbs out of my skin!

Prid salve for splinters also works. You place this or even Mentholatum or Vaseline on the rash, work it in and the barbs or stingers can be pulled out. I'm nearly free of the ring rash now. But it was not Ringworm.

Apple Cider Vinegar, Coconut Oil

Posted by Betty (Longmont) on 06/06/2017

So I had the same thing happening to me for months and would increase whenever I returned to work at a deli shop restaurant. I thought I was breaking out from the sanitation or some chemical I worked with. Come to find out it was water blister eczema also known as Dyshidrotic eczema and I started seeing a dermatologist and she was awesome. The liptoids in the skin were severely dried out and I had to continue a well thought out regemin my doctor prescribed me with medicated cream and moisturizer 2weeks on and 1 week just Vaseline and so forth. I tell you my hands never felt and looked better. Please consult a dermatologist if you can it is well worth it. Better then the itch and the embarrassment of patchy flakey red bubbly hands and some times oozing.

Coconut oil has stopped the itching of several rashes I've had. I spread it on very liberally several times a day or as needed. It has also helped my itchy ears.

Underarm Rashes

Posted by Sprinkles218 (San Diego, Ca) on 09/01/2014

Lavilin is a good solution if you have underarm rashes. It's an all-natural deodorant that apparently does wonders for sensitive skin. Haven't had a rash in months!

Colloidal Silver

My 8 year old son had a spot on his earlobe that was weepy and red. Likely it was a bug bite that he scratched and it got infected with staph or impetigo (which is a staph infection). Whatever it was, it was infected in some way. I began to spray Colloidal Silver on it 2-3 times a day. In 24 hours I could see that it was improving. It has been a few days and now it looks all healed up. I used 20 ppm Colloidal Silver because that was what was in a little spray mister. I would have used a stronger ppm, but the 20 was just sitting there waiting to be used and it worked well. I will spray once a day for a few more days just in case.

Itchy Rash on Foot Remedies

Posted by Lori (Denver, CO) on 07/04/2014

I have an itchy rash on top of my foot for past few months. Initially I thought it was poison ivy but when it didn't go away, I researched on the net and decided maybe it was athlete's foot. I tried soaking my foot in a bleach and water solution every 3-4 days. Did not help. I then tried wiping turpentine on the rash twice a day after reading it was effective for fungal conditions. Unfortunately, the turpentine made the rash spread to the bottom of my foot! Finally I showed it to a friend who said it looked like psoriasis to him. I applied a coal tar formula from the pharmacy yesterday and the rash is disappearing in a few hours.

You might try using Lava soap bar for rash. It helped me get rid of my Redman Syndrome as well as the rash on my husband's leg. The soap has no perfumes and it seems to work as a great anti-bacterial soap.

Dear She,

Sorry about the rash lasting so long! I agree with Debbie that a different soap might be good try try. Also, have you tried washing clothes only with baking soda in case you are reacting to detergent? I have read that the "free and clear" type detergents aren't always that great. (Although, that is what I use for my family and have no problems with it.) Also try natural deodorants if you haven't already.

You can use turmeric for the boils. 1 teaspoon 2-3 times a day in whole milk. A little black pepper will make it work better.

Borage Oil has helped me a ton with rashes that won't clear up with anything else. 3000 mg daily. I had spent a year trying to cure a rash with topicals. Within a few days of the internal Borage Oil, the rash was improving and in a couple of weeks the rash was gone. It was amazing.

My son once had a rash under his arms that cleared up well with a calendula salve You can make a tea from calendula and chamomile and put it on a cloth and put against the rash a couple of times a day. This has worked very well for a few rashes in my house.

I hope you find relief soon! Let us know how it goes...

Hi She, does "etc, etc.... You name it, " include probiotics and/or turmeric internally and zinc oxide ointment externally? And are you 100% gluten-free?

Mama to Many --- have you ever used soap berries (or soap nuts) ? I am very impressed. They are very economical and a little goes a long way. There are good sites on the web and very useful info. I have used them for dish washing and laundry and bathing cats..

Important is to get the ones from Nepal which are the best. They are also good for shampoo as they are anti bacterial and anti fungal. They only create suds when shaken in a bottle but no need to rinse dishes; they are shiny and clean. The laundry machine is clean after use, no scum etc. I had bought mine years ago when I re discovered them and they work like a charm. Important is not to use too many berries at once as they issue tons of soap. One must buy berries that have had the seeds removed. A great way to safe $$! Namaste, Om

Dear Om,

I have heard of soap berries/soap nuts but never tried them. I have spent years trying different laundry cleaning options with not much success. My husband and sons do a lot of construction and farm work. Their clothes get super sweaty and worse at times. :) I find my biggest problem is that I have had a front load washing machine. They use a lot less water and I find it much harder to get the clothes clean without enough water.

That said, I will try the soap berries with your recommendation. I am excited to have an option you have suggested. Thanks so much!
