A chronic rash can have adverse effects on the mental and physical well-being of patients, particularly children. However, many of these rashes are readily treated once an appropriate diagnosis is made. See your primary physician or ask for a referral to an allergist or dermatologist if you have a rash that's getting the best of you.
The cause of the itch is what you need to find. After consulting many dermatologists to identify the source of my itchy burning eyelids and scalp, they all came up with the same answer - eczema. It was not until after intense investigation using the Internet I was finally able to free myself from the constant itching and pain. I learned an over abundance of yeast in the body can result in extremely itchy skin, fatigue, and general feeling of poor health. I have since started taking a herbal remedy to help remove the excess yeast in my body, and the itchy eyelids and scalp are gone.
Soothing baths can also help with itchy skin. Try using bath additives like oils, milks, clays, and baking soda to soothe itch. Avoid salts and other drying bath additives, which will leave the skin feeling like a dry, crackling mask. Oatmeal baths will also help to soothe itchy skin and leave the skin firmer and healthier as well. Keep soothing baths tepid, rather than hot, and remember to gently pat, not rub, dry and moisturize afterwards.

Get rid of dandruff
Using anti-dandruff shampoo while washing your hair is the easiest way to make your hair dandruff free. But regular use of shampoo, without taking the guidance of a hair/skin specialist can harm the original beauty of your hair. Therefore, if you are caught by dandruff, first go to a skin specialist to identify the root of the problem.
Other home remedies include lemon, a natural antiseptic which can soothe itchy skin. Squeeze fresh lemon juice onto a hot spot and allow it to dry. Cloves and juniper berries can help to soothe itchy skin, and are often found suspended in salves. To make your own, melt butter and beeswax in equal amounts before adding fresh ground cloves and juniper berries to the mixture, stirring, and allowing it to cool. Spread it directly on the skin. Mint, thyme, and basil can also help with itchy skin: try adding them to a bath, or making a tea out of one or all of these spices and dipping a washcloth in it. Run the washcloth gently all over the body to ease itchy skin.
