After being in the metropolis for a long time, I forgot that Siling Labuyo (small variety of pepper, the very hot ones) are effective remedy for itchy skin. Thanks to Nanay for making me remember. Mothers really know best!
Yes, you heard me right. Fresh red pepper cures itch! And let me emphasize that it is very effective & cheap compared to anti-histamine ointments available in the market.
Six years ago, I was already rushed to the hospital due to rashes after doing general cleaning. But I enjoy doing domestic chores. Likewise, I admit I can be OC (obsessive compulsive). I want things done my way. I'm very hands-on. I'm also hard to please when it comes to cleanliness. So I prefer to do domestic stuff myself. Unfortunately, I had terrrible skin rashes (again) last week after cleaning and arranging stuff in our rooftop. As they were getting worse I was forced to avoid doing chores. But my hubby hates domestic duties so I had to seek help outside. Good thing, Nanay is always ready to rescue. Upon learning my mishap she immediately rushed to Manila from Bicol.
Skin rashes are really itchy so Nanay immediately bought a bunch of fresh "Siling Labuyo". She made me apply their sap topically on the itchy part. In one application itchiness did disappear! My skin did not darken as well unlike in the past when I applied anti-histamine ointments my derma prescribed! The only downside is that I suffered from extreme burning sensation for hours! But overall I'm satisfied. My rashes healed fast without the ugly dark spots!
Thanks to my dearest Nanay & Siling labuyo!
