Essential Oils
If applied properly, some essential oils would help ease discomfort, alleviate itching, and speed up healing. Several common options include manuka honey, aloe vera, licorice extract, tea tree oil, thyme, eucalyptus, and more. Keep in mind that a few topical ingredients would burn and irritate your skin if they are not diluted. Therefore, make sure to do research and mix them with a carrier oil such as coconut or jojoba oil to ensure safety. Also, you can do a patch test beforehand to know if the oil would trigger any allergic reactions on your skin. [4]
