Rashes can be caused by any number of different medical conditions, including viral infections, allergies and auto-immune diseases. If you have a new rash, it is important that you see a doctor for an informed diagnosis. In some cases, rashes can be caused by reactions to additives in cosmetics. If your rash coincides with product use, consider switching to a hypoallergenic formula.
Skin rashes that itch include urticaria (hives), contact dermatitis and eczema. All will benefit from an over-the-counter oral anti-histamine. In addition, spritzing Thermal Spring Water will instantly calm itching. Then, reinforce your skin’s barrier with a hypoallergenic moisturiser. If itchy rashes are recurrent, try visiting an allergist to pinpoint the cause of your problems.

Skin is the #1 site of allergy manifestations which come in many different forms ranging from hives to milder reactions such as redness, burning, and itching. To treat skin allergic reactions, cleanse with a high-tolerance non-rinse cleanser to remove allergens, then soothe with a thermal water spray and follow up with an ultra-soothing barrier cream formulated for allergic skin types.
This depends on the type of reaction. Hives look like raised red bumps on the skin. Contact dermatitis is a red, scaling rash, sometimes with blisters and oozing. Eczema consists of patches of red, dry skin often with visible scratch marks. More subtle allergic-like reactions may consist of a blotchy red patches on the skin.
If red, itchy rashes are a regular annoyance for you, the key to finding relief is to discover the culprit allergens, and banish them from your daily life.

Patients with sensitive skin do not always find it easy to choose the right cosmetic product. This is where a dermatologist can help by offering advice. They will recommend products which are formulated for adapted to and tested on sensitive skin i.e. products containing few preservatives which are surfactant-free, and alcohol-free and have a simple formula. We also know - and the dermatologist should explain this - that people with sensitive skin should avoid aggressive active ingredients such as the fruit acids which are used to treat acne or are found in anti-ageing preparations. Retinol also should be avoided because it will cause irritation. Unless prescribed specifically in a formulation suitable for sensitive skin. Finally, treatments suitable for sensitive skin types will combine a simple –and therefore irritant-free –dermatologically-tested formulation with the latest active ingredients such as neurosensine, which calm inflammation burning sensations and skin irritation.
