Common causes of skin irritation include allergies, irritants (such as chemicals or fabrics), skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis), and environmental factors (like dry or humid air).
To prevent skin irritation, it is important to identify and avoid triggers, use gentle skincare products and detergents, avoid excessive sun exposure, and keep the skin well-moisturized.
Some natural remedies for skin irritation include applying aloe vera gel, oatmeal baths, using essential oils like lavender or tea tree oil, and using cold compresses to soothe the skin.
You should see a doctor if your skin irritation is severe, lasts for more than a few days, is accompanied by other symptoms like fever or swelling, or if you have a known skin condition that is not responding to treatment.
Treatment for skin irritation depends on the cause, but some common treatments include over-the-counter creams or ointments, prescription medications, cool compresses, and avoiding triggers. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
