Rash due to Tree Tea Oil content in a Liquid Hand Wash

Somewhile ago i used a liquid hand wash which had some Tree Tea Oil. I had a reaction with it in which my hands became a bit reddish in parts. However, I also used the hand wash for my private area which developed a reddish rash which I have failed so far to eliminate. I did use a fungal cream from the chemist but that was no good. I also tried out olive oil. That too was no good. Personally, I would like to have a natural remedy for this situation. I should add too that I do not feel any pain, or itching in the private area. Rather tiny bits of skin peel off over time during the day, and can create a mild odour. This one cleans off with a non Tree Tea liquid hand wash without ill effect...but the rash remains....which ofcourse is something of an embarrassment. Any advice please?

If you want to try something natural, you could try using cooled boiled water with drop of lavender oil. Lavender is gentle and good at relieving irritation. Good luck as I know how vexing a rash anywhere can be x

We must be very careful while choosing handwash. Always try to select the products that have natural products. If the ingredients have chemical contents then try to avoid the use of such liquid hand wash. There are two chemicals often used in hand washes which are responsible for most cases of contact dermatitis. The first one is sodium lauryl sulphate which is a foaming agent that is used in many personal care products. The other one is triclosan. The widespread use of triclosan can cause a lot of health issues. Hence its always better to go for good quality handsfree soap dispensers ( dispenser.com/ ). The main advantage of the handsfree dispenser is that germs cannot get transmitted through it.
