Causes of rashes (sanhi ng rashes)
Common causes include allergies to food, medicine, plants or products like soap and detergent, dry skin, insect bites, and heat rash from sweating. Skin infections from fungus (like buni or an-an), bacteria, viruses (like chickenpox) or scabies can also cause itchy rashes. Long-term skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis can flare up again and again. People with sensitive skin, allergies or asthma, or who sweat a lot are more prone to rashes.

Home remedies and prevention (home remedy sa kati sa balat)
These simple habits can calm itchy skin and help keep rashes from coming back.
Don't scratch
Iwasang kamutin ang makating balat. Scratching can break the skin and lead to infection.
Moisturize daily
Maglagay ng fragrance-free moisturizer pagkatapos maligo. This helps prevent dry, itchy skin.
Use a cool compress
Maglagay ng malamig na compress sa makating bahagi. It can calm itching and swelling.
Use mild soap and lukewarm water
Gumamit ng mild, unscented na sabon at maligamgam na tubig. Hot water and strong soaps can dry out the skin.
Wear loose, breathable clothes
Magsuot ng maluwag at preskong damit, at magpalit agad kapag pawisan. This helps prevent heat rash and fungal infections.
Avoid your triggers
Iwasan ang alam mong nagdudulot ng allergy, gaya ng ilang pagkain, sabon o detergent. This helps stop rashes from coming back.
