Homeopathic Remedies
In order to treat rashes naturally with homeopathy, the most suitable remedy must be selected. By reading the indications of each remedy, it is possible to chose the remedy that most matches the case.
The most commonly prescribed homeopathic remedies are:
Hepar sulphuris
This is a great diaper rash remedy when the baby is generally extremely chilly and very sensitive to being uncovered. The diaper rash tends to become infected very quickly and it has a pussy look with some kind of odour. The child is sensitive to cold and touch to the affected area. He prefers warmth.
Graphites
Graphites is indicated when the skin is red, dry, cracked and very itchy. There is a honey-like discharge that is initially sticky and then becomes crusty. The child has skin eruptions mostly in the folds of the skin and may suffer from eczema and skin problems in other areas of the body.
Medorrhinum
Here the skin is red, shiny and the rash is often caused by Candida. The child needing this remedy has the tendency to sleep in a knee-to-chest position. Baby can be very restless and oversensitive to pain.
Sulphur
Sulphur babies are generally very hot and their skin is very delicate and becomes red, hot, dry, and itchy easily, especially around the anus after a stool. The diaper rash is worse after a bath and the child dreads being washed. The child prefers cold water and does not like warm water and warmth in general. He gets worse at night, in a warm bed.
Candida
This diaper rash remedy is given in homeopathic form when there is a yeast diaper rash that is difficult to eliminate.
Cantharis
This diaper rash remedy works wonders when the skin looks as if it has been scalded or burned like a sun burn. The skin looks blistery red, raised, hot and painful. The child is worse from touch and cold water. Baby may also have urinary tract infection.
Rhus toxicodendron
This diaper rash remedy works well when the skin is red, dry, swollen and very itchy. You can notice tiny blisters appearing in the diaper area and they can have a clear or pussy liquid in them. They feel better by warmth applications and exposure to fresh air. The child is very restless.
