Ways Of Treating Hell's Itch

Take An Oatmeal Bath

If the baking soda bath did not work out, the next thing to try is to take an oatmeal bath. Before doing this, it is important to get the right type of oatmeal. For an oatmeal bath, individuals want to use something called colloidal oatmeal. Individuals can either buy this or make it at home using whole oats from the grocery store. The homemade variety requires grinding the whole oats in a blender or in a food processor until they turn into a powdery substance. This powder should blend into the water and turn it white. Colloidal oatmeal baths work best with lukewarm water. Put about a cup of it into the bathwater. Once it has dissolved, individuals should get in the bath for at least ten minutes, but should not stay in too long or else their skin will become dry. The oatmeal powder will absorb into the skin and reduce inflammation, which in turn reduces the hell's itch.
