Fill your tub with warm water to a level that reaches your raw skin. Sprinkle the bathwater with colloidal oatmeal, which is a finely ground oatmeal specifically made for the bathtub. Soak in the oatmeal and warm water for 5-10 minutes. Then pat your skin dry and apply a moisturizer. This may soothe raw skin and promote healing. Use uncooked oatmeal if you cannot find colloidal oatmeal. While your skin is healing, put on loose clothing made of a smooth and breathable fabric such as lightweight cotton. This can prevent further irritation of raw skin. It also increases airflow to promote healing. Avoid wearing several layers of clothing.
