Aloe vera
The aloe vera plant is in use for centuries to help in promoting health and providing skin care. Aloe vera works as an antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial agent in addition to wound healing. The clear gel coming from aloe vera plant especially from the aloe leaves can be helpful in soothing irritating and itchy skin. Cut open an aloe vera leaf and apply the gel on the skin rash area. A lot of drug stores keep commercial aloe vera preparations but doctors recommend the use of fresh aloe vera because the commercial one might lose and degrade some effectiveness with time. Apply aloe vera gel on skin rash affected area twice a day to improve and soothe the skin. Aloe vera contains sterols and enzymes which add to the anti-inflammatory effects on skin rash area. Although aloe vera gel is safe for topical use but it is possible to cause allergy in some people.
