A genital rash can be extremely frustrating as well as painful, not to mention socially embarrassing given the fact that it may prompt you to scratch the affected area regularly. However, suffering from a genital rash is not uncommon and there are a number of steps that one can take to ensure proper treatment for the dry skin rash that also subdues the impact the rash will have on your daily life. Before getting into the details of how to deal with the small itchy bumps on your skin, it is imperative to understand the various factors that play a part in the development of the rash in the groin area. One of the most common factors that cause the rash in the groin area is the continued use of rather tight fitting clothes. These clothes tend to constantly rub against the groin area - causing friction to produce the rash. This will also lead to the buildup of heat around the area causing the groin rash to become more intense. As a result, it is highly recommended that you choose to instead wear loose clothes that breathe easily. Shaving the area is another common practice that causes the development of a shaving rash or razor bumps that, if infected, could lead to the development of a genital rash. In children, the most common cause of a genital rash is going to be the lack of frequent diaper changes, so regular changes are extremely important. In adults, there are also a number of conditions that may cause an increase in yeast infections as well as sexually transmitted diseases that will cause the development of the groin rash.
Because of the fact that suffering from a rash in the groin area is a rather common occurrence, there are a number of home remedies that have been developed all over the world that should prove to be rather effective in helping treat the condition. Olive oil, for instance, is said to have very therapeutic qualities that penetrate deep through the skin and help cure the rash. Another very effective method of dealing with a rash in groin areas is to take a cup of boiling water and steep it along with two or three cups of chamomile tea and strain the decoction before cooling it down. Then proceed to wash the affected area with the solution. Performing this treatment on a regular basis will help cure the condition.
