Question

Dear sir My wife is 28 years old and we are married for 7 months now. Her right hand is itching ans the skin is coming off from palm in patches. I guess its happening due to use of detergents and utensil cleaners because she is not accustomed to these works. Its itching and burning sensation is always there. Can you suggest any cure for that. After checking on youtube she is applying a mixture of vaseline and glycerin but not of much use. Help me out.

Best Home Remedies For Rashes: Olive oil
Olive oil helps in healing and promotes skin renewal given it is packed with vitamin E and antioxidants. It also soothes the skin and reduces itching.
Rub extra-virgin olive oil or a combination of olive oil and honey on your rash a few times daily until it heals.
Also add a pinch of turmeric powder to olive oil and apply it two or three times a day for a few days. Turmeric is rich in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which soothes rashes and relieves itching.
Apart from olive oil, castor oil and coconut oil also help heal rashes naturally. A combination of vitamin E oil and cod liver oil is also helpful
Baking soda
Baking soda is useful in drying skin rashes as also in relieving itching and inflammation.
Add one part baking soda to three parts water and apply on the affected area every day.
Equally effective is a mixture of baking soda with some coconut oil for treating skin rashes.
Do not leave baking soda on the skin for too long as it may cause further irritation.
Oatmeal
When it comes to alleviating skin irritation and inflammation oatmeal serves as an effective option given its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is particularly helpful in treating rashes triggered by poison ivy, eczema, chicken pox, sunburn and allergies.
Mix a cup of finely ground oatmeal in warm bath water and soak in it for at least 15 or 20 minutes.
To treat rashes on the face, apply a mixture of equal amounts of oatmeal and plain yogurt mixed with a little honey.
Aloe Vera
Thanks to its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and emollient properties, aloe vera is excellent for treating a number of skin ailments including rashes as also soothing the skin.
If fresh aloe vera gel, which is ideal for the purpose is not available, you can buy aloe vera gel or extract.
Cold Compress
A cold compress can be beneficial in reducing rashes, especially those caused by heat, insect bites, poison ivy and shingles. It helps ease swelling, inflammation and itching and is particularly useful if a rash begins to develop into blisters.
Rub ice cubes in a sealed plastic bag or an ice pack over the affected area for a few minutes. Alternatively, you can simply soak a clean washcloth in ice-cold water and place it on the rash for about 10 minutes.
Note: Avoid placing ice cubes directly on the skin.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Raw and organic apple cider vinegar is a common home remedy to treat skin rashes and ease itching. Its acetic acid content helps counter skin infections or skin allergy that could be causing or aggravating the problem.
Place a cotton ball dipped in apple cider vinegar over the affected area
If apple cider vinegar causes irritation, dilute it with water before applying on the skin. If this still irritates your skin, don’t persist with it.
Chamomile
Chamomile is very helpful in treating rashes. It relieves itching, soothes the skin, reduces inflammation and helps healing thanks to its anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties as also antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effects.
Soak a cloth in chamomile tea and place it on the affected area as a compress – repeat two or three times a day.
Chamomile is also applied on the affected area by diluting a couple of drops in two teaspoons of coconut oil or another carrier oil.
Neem
In large part due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-irritant, antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties, neem (also known as Indian lilac or margosa) is very useful in treating a number of skin ailments including eczema, rashes, acne, scabies, psoriasis and various infections. It also contains antioxidants that prevent ageing and revitalize skin cells.
Boil some neem leaves, strain the solution and allow it to cool. Place a cotton ball soaked in the solution over the affected area for at least 10 minutes.
