However, in less sensitive area away from genital area, such as buttocks I may use a weak zinc chloride solution of 1% (or with zinc acetate), and sometimes add magnesium chloride of 5% in those areas. While the inflammation may stop, the scarring and other things may take longer to heal and perhaps, at least, what I tried to reduce the stinging pain after application, is to rinse, dry and apply the aloe vera oil thinly, but not often, at least not everyday, to help healing of the scars. The aloe vera oil actually is not necessary, it just helps the healing of the scar and hence, i prefer to kill them using the zinc and magnesium first. Quite often most people won't have the zinc chloride or magnesium chloride solution, in which case, a suitable substitute, somewhat less effective is for me to get zinc gluconate tablets, grind and dissolve in small amount of water and apply to the appropriate area.
Personally I feel the topical application is fast, but dietary confrol is important otherwise it spread pretty rapidly. The most important element to reduce this problem is proper sanitary measures (my home is full of fungus from the tour buses that pollutes the house - hard to eliminate, cleaning and bathing), but also keeping the area dry, such as zinc oxide added talcum powders. Sometimes titanium dioxide helps, but zinc oxide is more effective against bacteria. A key component in reducing rashes is taking internally 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda i n 1/2 glass of water twice a day. In severe cases of extreme itchiness and irritation a carbicarb remedy is what I used, such as 1/4 teaspoon of sodium carbonate with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken as an alkalizing drink 2 times a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime. The alkalizing drinks helps with skin problems tremendously. One of my friend in Australia emailed me about the wonders of
microwater, kangen water, and other similar water remedy after seeing some video of eczema being cured on a children after 6 months, in which I told him that Kangen water is nothing more than a weak solution of lye found in water during the electrolytic process in which sodium chloride is reacted as follows:
NaCl + H2O -> NaOH + HCl
The electrodes will separate the NaOH on alkalizing side (sodium hydroxide) and HCl hydrochloric acid on the other side. These are called Kangen water and other terminology. Marketers don't want people to know this, so it sound like a miracle, but eczema or rashes after taking baking soda three times a day 1/2 x 3 reduced significantly the next 3 days instead of 6 months, and you won't waste throwing away half of the water. lol. For me the equipment is expensive and the recipe method is a lot cheaper and more effective.
It should be noted that mother nature has a plan of recycling decayed organic cells and dead cells. These decaying bacteria, will only start decaying whenever organic molecules become acid, which triggers decay. Unfortunately we eat acid forming foods and acid forming vegetable oils, which is fried food, that is high in free fatty acids. Of course vegetable oils unheated has little free fatty acids. These trigger degradation of our bodies, much like rotting our own bodies, as in these rashes. Therefore, avoiding these acid forming foods, in particular aspartame, diet products, low fat products, fruits juices, fruits, table salt, wheat products are some of the more problem one. The most dangerous of all are aspartame containing products, and chlorinated and fluoridated compounds and the table salt which contains acid forming aluminum silicate compound that is an anti-caking, but causes pH of salt to be 5, which is the main cause of high blood pressure, the acidity and the
excessive chlorides and chlorine. Chlorine and fluoridation of water causes inflammation, that worsens especially our tap water in most of the city now contain many pharmaceutical products that REFUSES to be biodegradable and people unknowingly drink this everyday. Imagine what happens if some vegetables we grow contains heavy metals and we water our plants with non-degradable, drugs on the plants. Therefore these environmental influences play a great deal of influences too, together with chlorine causes the body to react more severely despite low concentration of pharma drugs found in water that refuses to degrade.
Therefore, I would concentrate on baking soda remedy and topical application, such as zinc oxide, or other topical application mentioned, all of which I have tried, and work quite well. The scarring however, is not going to heal quickly but can be applied using some aloe oil mixed with some lavender oil. Weak lavender oil in grape oil solution or extra virgin olive oil can be applied to reduce the inflammation, although only thinly applied and not used everyday. Zinc oxide talcum powders are generally easy to use because it is drying. Oily solution is not helpful in the long run, but if applied once or twice a week usually won't hurt that much and used only when the skin is inflamed. Thinner, methanol use, and chemical use may not improve such rash conditions and I would avoid such use near them.
