Remedy for immediate relief:

Cilantro juice - Wash and chop fresh cilantro and blend it with ⅓ cup of water. Drink the juice after straining and apply the pulp on the affected area.

Other beneficial remedies:

• Apply fresh coconut water to the rash. Note - Bottled coconut water will not give the desired results.
• Rub the rind of musk melon or watermelon against the rash or hives.
• Apply a paste made of turmeric, sandalwood (1:2) in goat's milk and apply locally. If goat's milk is not available, then cow's milk can also be used. [Your skin might look a little yellow after this application for up to 3-4 days.]

Remedy for internal healing:

Steep ½ tsp of the mixture of coriander, cumin and raw natural sugar in 2:1:2 in a cup of hot milk. Drink it once or twice a day till the condition is healed. This remedy is useful in various Pitta-related disorders.
