This guide lists homeopathic medicines that are commonly considered for skin rashes, along with the symptom picture usually associated with each one. It is general information only: homeopathic prescribing is individualised, so the right medicine depends on your complete case – please consult a qualified homeopathic doctor before taking any of them, and do not stop or change any current treatment without medical advice.
About skin rashes
A skin rash is a change in the colour, texture or feel of the skin, often with redness, itching, bumps or blisters. Common causes are eczema (atopic dermatitis), contact dermatitis from soaps, cosmetics, metals or plants, heat rash, hives (urticaria), fungal infections, scabies, psoriasis, viral illnesses such as measles and chickenpox, and reactions to medicines. Avoid scratching, wear soft cotton clothing, use a gentle moisturiser, apply cool compresses and avoid known triggers and harsh soaps. See a doctor promptly for a rash with fever, one that spreads quickly, blisters, sores in the mouth or eyes, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or lips, purple spots that do not fade when pressed, severe pain, or a rash that starts after a new medicine, and see a doctor for any rash in a young baby that does not settle.
