Does anyone have a good natural remedy for contact dermatitis?

Hi all,

I need a good natural remedy for contact dermatitis. Systemic allergies are also a contributing factor as well as use of a very strong antibiotic.

Thoughts?

    Hello!

    I hope this helps!

    6 drops tea tree oil (antiseptic/anti-inflammatory)

    1/2 Finely diced or gelled cucumber (best when cold)

    1/4 cup powdered colloidal Oatmeal ( draws out, anti-inflammatory)

    Mix well into a thick paste with ice water, then wrap in cheesecloth to aid in cooling properties.  

    As the mixture dries its helps to cool and draw out external and internal irritants. 

     This is a great shop on Etsy to find the Colloidal Oatmeal. http://www.etsy.com/shop/StressTamerSpa

    Be Well!
