Fungal Infection Skin Rash- Natural Treatments

Tea Tree Essential oil put in bath or dilute and apply

Use an anti-fungal cleanser to clean the affected areas.

You can also make your own anti-fungal cleanser. Tea tree oil is a potent ant-fungal agent and so is lemongrass essential oil.

Citric acid found in tomatoes and lemons too are excellent in destroying fungus. Clean and blend a single tomato along with the juice of half a lemon and one two drops each of tea tree oil and lemongrass oil. Put two large teaspoons of this tomato paste on a clean cotton swab and gently massage the affected areas with it. Rinse your skin gently with cold water as this will allow a little oil to remain on the skin and destroy the fungus. You can add two drops of lavender oil to a teaspoon of jojoba oil and use this as a moisturizer after your shower.

Lavender oil is a sweet scented oil that has strong anti-fungal properties while jojoba oil helps to soften the skin. Crush two pods of garlic along with a few drops of turmeric oil and apply this paste to your skin. Garlic and turmeric oil is very effective in treating various different types of fungus and so you should use this paste on a daily basis.

In addition to this, you need to ensure that you have a healthy diet. You can also add a few cloves of garlic to your dishes while you are cooking as this will help to control the fungal infection by fighting the fungus from within. Garlic also helps to bolster the immune system which in turn helps to control the infection. You should not scratch the area at all as this will only leave scars and promote the spread of the skin infection. If this fungal infection does not clear up within a few weeks of regular treatment or if it seems to be spreading, visit a dermatologist.

You can also take some easy steps at home to resist the spread of the infection. One of the easiest ones is to sanitize the infected areas thoroughly. This will help to at least arrest the spread of the infection easily. Topical application of hydrogen peroxide can take care of this quite easily.

You should also try to apply fresh, unflavored and unsweetened yogurt to all your infected areas. This contains live as well as openly active bacteria which will feed off your fungal infection quite happily. Sometimes, this method alone can help to get rid of the infection fully.

Alternately, you can also apply lime juice to the areas. This is an excellent method that is used to kill all kinds of topical infections of the skin. Another product you can use is tea tree oil. This has excellent anti bacterial and anti fungal properties that will help to take care of your infections.
