Home Remedies For Inflammatory Skin Conditions

Chamomile

Chamomile flower extract is good at treating rashes. It soothes the skin, reduces inflammation and redness, and relieves itching. It is also an anti-irritant that helps soothe discomfort caused by irritant substances and stings. In addition, its antifungal and antibacterial properties help fight bacterial and fungal infections on the skin. To relieve inflammation, dilute a few drops of the chamomile tea extract in water, dip a cloth into the solution, and use it to compress the affected area. Repeat the procedure several times a day. You can also dilute a few drops of the oil in a teaspoon of carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil and then apply it directly to the affected area.

Discontinue using any ingredient that causes an adverse reaction on your skin. Test potential irritants on a small area before applying it to various affected areas. Sometimes the skin condition is caused by an underlying health condition, so seek medical attention if the symptoms do not go away after a few days or the condition worsens. While most of the ingredients may not react with any ointment you get from the physician, seek medical advice before using them with a prescription.
