oatmeal for itchy skin

Hi Bart, Oh yes, it has therapeutic effect and it is really good for the skin. It's soothing and it is good for those who have sensitive skin too. It also has a cleaning agent that is mild and can make our skin soft and smooth. It makes the skin free from itch and redness. I have used Oatmeal bar soap, the brand is Sw+ss, I don't know if it was from Switzerland..hehe Anyway, I have used it for my face and body because I had sunburn before (we had a vacation 2 years ago and we went to Batangas,beach resort)...it's really effective in soothing my skin. I also found out that it heals some skin rashes and eczema. Oatmeal was used in curing skin problems back on the ancient times. The Egyptians use it as a soap, which means that oatmeal is a great cleansing agent and medicine as well. Happy mylotting!

Well, perhaps oatmeal acts as base for the acidity of the bug bites and itch from rashes, I don't really know the explanation. But I know that Aloe Vera plant's gel is the most effective thing for those stuff. I use it a lot and it's really a very helpful plant to have at home and what's best about it is the ease of taking care of it.

I was also told this as i suffer from psoriasis and i was told to put some into a sock whilst in the bath and wet the sock,then rub it over the skin that had the problem.I have never tried it myself.
