How Do You Soothe Irritated Skin?
Hi, I m having skin irritations right now. Please advise me how to cure it. It s very itchy and when i try to scratch it, rashes are starting to pop up. Im not sure if the root cause of this is water im using when taking a bath, or the food that I previously ate. But I haven t had allergies with any type of food before.
