Turmeric
Turmeric is rich in curcumin, believed to possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It can protect your chafed skin from infections and reduce healing time. Furthermore, it reduces the risk of scarring.
A 2007 study published in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology suggests that curcumin works as a potent nontoxic agent for treating skin diseases. It protects skin by eliminating free radicals and reducing inflammation through nuclear factor-KB process.
