I have a rash on my underarms - it itches-powder temp.relieves itch-rash still there-Benedryl didn't work?

I realized I recently bought deodorant from the dollar tree. I%26#039;m taking a guess, but it the shoe fits...I tried a cream that I had prescribed by a dermatologist for the skin on my back (very itchy one time) - it burned the crap out of my pits-took it off-used powder-made it feel better, but only temporarily. MAKE IT GO AWAY PLEEEEASE !!!

I know this will be hard, but lay off any deoderant for a while. This has happened to me before. The powder is the only thing I could use. Even hydrocortisone burned like crazy. Only use deo when you HAVE to, like when you get home at night wash off and dont use it again until you have to. It took about a week for mine to recover. I think only time and no scented strong products will fix it.

Here are a few ideas to heal the issue.





Cause


Although most rashes are not symptoms of a serious health problem, they can be signs of allergies, liver and gallbladder problems, lupus, bleeding disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases.





Rashes can also be due to the elimination of toxic wastes through the skin, or of an active immune reaction to an invading organism. Suppression of such a rash can lead to chronic disease states. Rather than try to suppress the rash, in such cases watchful waiting may be more advisable.





Caution: If your rash becomes chronic, forms a %26quot;butterfly%26quot; shape over your cheeks, or is accompanied by high fever and joint pains, seek immediate medical attention to rule out more serious illnesses.

Natural Cures





Diet: Screen for and eliminate any foods to which you are allergic or sensitive. Eat an organic, whole foods diet, with plenty of green leafy vegetables and yellow vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. Also drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid all processed foods and chemical food additives.





Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® applied topically to the affected areas.





Herbs: The following herbal remedies can speed healing: A tincture of equal parts burdock root and gentian root, the fresh juice of coriander, and/or aloe vera juice or gel.





Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Belladonna, Sulfur, Graphites, and Calc carb.





Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment.


*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.





Juice Therapy: Drink fresh squeezed vegetable juices on a daily basis, especially carrot, beet, radish, and garlic juice.





Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can be helpful to speed healing: vitamin A and vitamin E (both orally and applied topically over the affected areas), vitamin C, essential fatty acids (EFAs), flaxseed oil, and amma linolenic acid (GLA). In addition, add half a teaspoon of baking soda to water and drink every fifteen minutes. Do this three times, and then every two to three hours for two to three days or until the reaction subsides.





Alternative Professional Care


If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating rashes: Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Detoxification Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, Osteopathy, Oxygen Therapy (Hydrogen Peroxide), and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
