Got a unexplained rash?
You have an unsettling rash that just won't go away.
You may have tried a food elimination diet to rule out rash due to food allergies.
You figured it's lasted too long to be a bug bite or bee sting.
You've cleaned out your home of detergents, chemicals, fabrics and skin care products with sketchy ingredients.
You're even pretty sure it's not stress-related.
Plus, you have used a zinc-oxide based rash cream to fix it, which helps, but the rash returns when you stop using the cream.
Could your itchy, red skin rash be caused by toxic mold in your home?
There's a very good chance it might be, but the effect of the mold doesn't always show up in your skin for quite awhile.
Check out #4 below to see if you have other symptoms in addition to the skin rash:
How black mold affects the skin:
Toxic mold, also known as black mold or Stachybotrys chartarum, can cause a variety of health problems, including skin irritation and rashes in some people. Here's how it can affect the skin:
Allergic reactions: Exposure to toxic mold can trigger allergic reactions in some people. This can cause skin rashes, itching, and hives.
Infections: Toxic mold can also cause skin infections in some people. This is more likely to happen in people with weakened immune systems. The infection can cause redness, itching, and pain in the affected area.
Mycotoxins: Mycotoxins produced by toxic mold can also affect the skin. These toxins can be absorbed through the skin, leading to rashes, itching, and other skin irritations.
Other symptoms: In addition to skin problems, exposure to toxic mold can also cause other symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, respiratory problems, and neurological symptoms.
Use this checklist to see if your skin rash might be prone to black mold:
You live in a water-damaged environment (mold thrives in places like an old building or basement that has had water damage).
You've recently moved.
You consume grains, nuts, wine, spices or coffee that may be contaminated by mycotoxin (often found in food with poor growing or harvesting practices.)
You see black mold in your home and any amount of bleach or other chemical to clean it up only returns the mold later.
You live in a humid environment.
You notice a musty smell in your home or there's poor ventilation.
How can I test for mold?
You can have your home tested by a mold inspector, or you can have various tests done for the toxins, or you can have your blood tested.
One option if you find out there's mold? Move. Or, read on...
If all tests positive for black mold, what do I do?

Simply Soothing Rash Cream Testimonial
Jane W:
This rash cream is wonderful!!!! It works on all of my family’s skin rashes, irritations, itches - we use it for everything. And it works!!
✨️Really amazing stuff. Zinc is incredibly healing and is in short supply in the soil and so in short supply in our diet. I have been using this on my face and body. It is silky & melts like butter. It feels wonderful and once rubbed in does not leave a film. A must have!
Love that this cream is safe for babies and it really works! Rashes clear up so quickly! Good on mosquito bites too!
Love it like all the other products I've purchased from you.
I am a notoriously slow healer. Recently I had a very light brush with the oven door and didn't think anything of it - just hot, no pain. But still I had a burn. Because I'm not used to thinking outside the box I didn't try the rash cream for almost a week. A slight burn that others would have shrugged off in that time was not getting any better. Finally I thought of trying it, and it _rapidly_ healed in just a very few days, and now I only have a slight pink spot where the burn was. I am very impressed.
I was so excited that this worked! I have a patch of eczema on one finger. It has been red and itchy for a month. After using the rash cream once, it started improving. The cream takes the redness and itchiness away if I use a little cream on it daily.
It's very soft and goes on gently. Immediate relief. (I didn't have a severe rash.) No scent, which is nice.
I like this product and use it for eczema & allergic reactions. Helps with itchy skin as well. Over the years if I use a brace that has neoprene in it, even for a short time my skin turns red like a burn, redder for more contact, and even blister like a burn. Of course the less time exposure, the quicker it will heal. I had some small red areas from a leg brace 8-10 hours of exposure(forgot to wear brace over a cotton sleeve). Stopped the itching and in the am the redness much less, gone in 3 days. When my daughter was a baby, desitin was my go to, it also worked well for skinned knees. One thing about it always bothered me was that you could not just wash it off, well maybe you could but with much scrubbing, skin damage & pain, defeating the purpose of its use. This is one reason I like the clean simple recipe for use. You don’t want to provoke a reaction on top of what you are trying to treat. Good to have it on hand for the multiple uses it has, and you will be able to treat a skin issue sooner than later.
So cool and soothing! The nature of my eczema takes on several forms. This cream helped best on what looked like smooth rashes. Great product!
This works well, I had a couple of areas with some soft of rash & this has helped, it's mostly gone. I also put the Shea Facial Emollient on it. This is a great product.
