How to cure a common rash

Ruling out syphilis, herpes and other venereal diseases... Here are some tips on possible cures for common rashes. First off, I am not a medical doctor of any kind so take this "advice", AT YOUR OWN RISK. Any rash should be seen by a real physician for an expert opinion. IF, you have been to a physician and dermatology specialists etc... and not had any results then this discussion you might find helpful.

First let's discuss some of the common causes of rashes.

The number 1 cause of rashes is probably simply dry skin, though, that is only a guess of mine. Dry skin can set up the condition for other pathogens to settle in. Be sure to be taking vitamin D daily and if possible get your vitamin D levels tested.... Fish (preferably) or Flax Seed oil taken orally will cure most dry skin rashes.

Another cause of rashes can be allergies, yet, the rash is not generally caused by the allergen itself, but it is caused by the histamines (which are the most highly toxic poisons known) that the body produces to combat the allergen. Allergy medications are the best cure in this case.

I have had my own mysterious rashes and when I went in for an allergy test the doctor exposed my skin to nearly every known allergen and nothing produced a histamine response. So I was simply left without a cure other than to take allergy medicines anyway.

Another Dr. visit wasted other than I learned a few things while there...

In other words, though they can't pinpoint the actual source of the rash they prescribe cures anyway. This is the approach that this discussion takes.

If the rash is caused by dry skin then here are ways to remedy that.

The first remedy is fish oil supplements at maximum daily dosage. If you are allergic to fish oil then substitute flax seed oil. Even if the rash is caused by other factors, fish oil will improve the overall health of the skin.

This is the first course for a simple dry skin rash...

The fish oil does take its time to begin to work so be patient.

Secondly a topical moisturizer.

For this I suggest pure shea butter ( If you cannot obtain shea butter then even coating your skin with mineral oil can cure dry skin problems.) mixed with other things.

These other things could be vitamin D and vitamin A. Just break up supplement gel caps and mix them into the shea butter then apply them gently to the entire rash.

Watch the rash and see if the condition improves.

If the rash itches terribly and is open sores then try and let the ingested fish oil do its work as long as possible. I have never put fish oil directly onto a rash so I cannot tell you if it works or not. It is highly effective as an oral supplement.

If the itching is really bad then mix some hydrocortisone (anti itch) cream to your shae butter mixture.

I suggest you stay away from over the counter moisturizer creams and mineral oil as they have no real healing factor. They can also become addictive eventually worsening the skin condition. Google healing factor in regard to moisturizers to find info on that. Very few moisturizing oils have a healing factor at all. Even coco butter does not have a healing factor though shea butter does.

Natural nut oils do a better job of healing skin than mineral oils which are usually extracted from, err petroleum, yuck!. Though for dry skin, petroleum (baby) oil and even Vaseline can simmer down a dry skin rash.

The last treatment is only if the other treatments I have outlined above do not work.

Before I discuss the last treatment let me recap the others.

Fish oil (in maximum recommended dose).
An allergy medicine, Claratin, Benydryl etc... Experiment with various types of allergy medicines.

Topical creams that I listed above,

(Note if you do the slow and methodical approach to this you may find the thing that actually works, but if you do all of these at the same time you will always wonder which one actually worked the most effective so that reoccurrance will be easier to cure.)

Lastly, is topical drug called Miconazole Nitrate.

Women use Miconazole Nitrate to cure yeast infections. I do not know a lot about yeast infections but a number of factors can cause them to appear.

The top on the list is fungus.

So it is the fungus itself that becomes the allergen.

These fungus are very common and can be picked up from sitting on the toilet at the mall to walking around in your bare feet at the public gym and other public type places.

Just because the rash is not on your feet or buttocks does not mean your rash is not caused by a fungus.

If the area where your rash is either very dry or can be exacerbated by night sweating both areas can become afflicted by these types of fungus.

Fungus has become much more prevalent in our environment due to global warming in general and unbridled pollutants released into our environment by negligent corporations and unethical manufacturers.

There is another common product on the market for fungus relief, it is the drug Clorimazole. I do not find this one as effective for curing fungus.

The dollar store had Miconazole Nitrate cream for a dollar for a big tube of it but I have not seen it there lately. Then there is Walmart that sells a tube for five dollars. CVS and Rite-Aid sell the same tube size and it is the exact same strength for TWENTY DOLLARS! What a markup! Miconazole Nitrate may be your most powerful weapon. If it is a fungus it will reoccur if you frequent the same public areas. Clean ALL visible fungus from your home shower curtain and sink areas, wash your whites and bath towels in water with the correct amount of bleach.

Post any gripes about what I have said here or let me know if any of this has been helpful.

Remember moisture and heat are breeding grounds for fungus so the fungus will move and settle into those areas of the body. So if it is a fungus be sure to eradicate the fungal infection before applying moisturizing creams. Change bedding and use more absorbent materials for bedding.

If your Dr looks at your rash with a big, I don't know, look on their face then it is best to try and treat it with various remedies that are known to produce results.

REMEMBER, many skin rashes are caused by very serious conditions including venerable diseases... So go and have tests done to rule out a much more serious condition. If you have engaged in risky sexual behavior then these such tests are certainly in order anyway.

Good luck.
