How to treat cactus dermatitis?
It is caused by contact with minute hairs near the spines of cacti....try shaving the affected area and a vinegar bath....and don't touch them again.

  1. Hi,
    I have the same problem. About a year ago I was pricked by the prickly pear fruit and developed skin rush in my fingers.
    I've tried so many things, especially natural. the best thing for me right now is that I'm taking Beta Glucan - it's a supplement that boost the immune system. If I stop taking it it will come back (I've tried number of times).
    I'de love to hear from you and share experiences...
