jamui. It is not common for red rashes to appear suddenly on the body. Many people ignore it considering it to be a simple allergy, but this carelessness can turn into a serious problem in the future. Ayush physician Dr. Rash Bihari Tiwari explains that there can be many reasons behind red rashes on the skin. These include change in weather, allergy, fungal infection, impurity of blood, excess of bile or reaction to any food item. If itching, burning, swelling or peeling of the skin starts along with the rashes, then it should not be taken lightly.

Dr. Tiwari explains that in the problem of red rashes, first of all it is very important to control the diet. Spicy, fried, junk food and sour foods should be avoided. Neem is considered a blood purifier in Ayurveda. Chewing soft neem leaves on an empty stomach in the morning or boiling neem leaves and drinking its water can be beneficial. Apart from this, consumption of Giloy juice and Amla increases the body’s immunity and provides relief from skin diseases. Applying fresh aloe vera gel on the affected area provides cooling effect and reduces itching. Turmeric and sandalwood paste is also considered helpful in reducing swelling and redness of the skin. It is also important to drink adequate amount of water and keep the body hydrated, because lack of water in the body can increase skin related problems.

If problems start increasing, seek help from a doctor.
Dr. Rash Bihari Tiwari explains that if the red rashes are continuously increasing, spreading or recurring, then instead of self-treatment, one should consult a doctor. Sometimes it can also be a sign of eczema, psoriasis or other serious skin diseases. In Ayurveda, Panchakarma, blood purification and lifestyle modification are considered part of long-term treatment. Dr. Rash Bihari Tiwari says that most of the skin problems can be controlled by timely detection, balanced diet and adopting regular routine.
