Bullous impetigo – How can Ayurveda help with this condition? - #16745
A few days ago, my 4-year-old son developed some red spots on his arms, which quickly turned into fluid-filled blisters. At first, I thought it was just a heat rash or an insect bite, but within a day, the blisters got bigger, and some even burst, leaving behind red, raw skin. I took him to the doctor, and they said it was bullous impetigo. They prescribed antibiotics, but I’m really worried because I’ve read that bullous impetigo spreads fast and can return even after treatment. I’ve always trusted natural healing methods, and I want to understand if Ayurveda has any solutions for bullous impetigo. I want to make sure my child doesn’t suffer from this again. Is there any Ayurvedic remedy that can help speed up healing and prevent it from coming back? I also want to know if diet plays a role because he loves eating sweets, and I’ve heard that sugar might make infections worse. Are there specific herbs or natural antiseptics in Ayurveda that can be applied to bullous impetigo blisters? I’ve been using neem paste and coconut oil, but I’m not sure if that’s enough. Also, do certain foods or lifestyle habits contribute to weak immunity, making my child more prone to bullous impetigo? I really want to avoid this from happening again. Please share any Ayurvedic treatments, home remedies, or immune-boosting tips that can help.
