A case of suspected impetigo

Impetigo contagiosa

This little boy was brought to me yesterday by her father. He was terrified while entering in dispensary and started crying. Crying while seeing a doctor tells child had injections recently and father accepted in this case too. These eruptions started 1 week ago as clear fluid filled bullae and they gone to a local quack doctor who gave three injection shots over next three days and some other medicine, but these measures do not help in any way. After then they came to my dispensary.  I educated the father that wrongly treated skin diseases can convert into more complicated skin diseases like eczema so one should go for qualified doctors for any skin problems as well as any other health problems.


After examining I suspected this is a case of Impetigo contagiosa and I gave Rhus Tox 30, Ars Album 30, and Calendula 30 repeated doses. I advised father do not apply any hair oil on head and moisturize the lesions with coconut oil if needed. This child responded very well to homeopathic treatment and all skin lesions gone away over the period of 10 days.
