Natural Remedies for Impetigo
Impetigo is a contagious skin infection
that is generally caused by one of two bacteria: A streptococcus or staphylococcus auraus.
Impetigo usually affects children especially in the summer. Although it can appear
anywhere on the body, it usually appears on the scalp. Impetigo usually begins with tiny
blisters that burst. Small reddish patches of skin begins to ooze a thick fluid and a
yellowish honey colored hard scab forms covering the area. Unlike normal scabs, impetigo
scabs get bigger and bigger as the infected area spreads.
There is a very simple, yet extremely
effective remedy for this. If your child has impetigo, put a small amount of shampoo in
the palm of your hand adding two or three drops of tea tree oil,
and wash the childs hair with this being very careful not to get it into the eyes. If the
infected area is not on the scalp, use soap and water with a couple drops tea tree oil. Once the area has been washed, and if the scab has
not already come off, gently rub the scab off with a Q-tip that has about three drops of tea tree oil on it. After the scab is off, apply the tea tree oil with the Q-tip to the infected area where the scab
was. Also, apply three drops tea tree oil using a Q-tip once in
the morning and once before bed, making sure the scab is off first. This method will kill
impetigo within just a few days in the majority of cases. Explain to your child that
he should not touch or scratch the infected area, as impetigo can spread to other areas.
Using this remedy, you will be amazed how quickly impetigo will die.
