General information about pus plague
The pus lichen is a highly bacterial skin infection that occurs mainly in summer. Initially, small blisters and pustules form, mainly on the face and extremities. These burst later and the typical yellow crusts develop on a red background.
The rash is very contagious, so if the infection continues to spread on the body after two days, you should take your child to the doctor immediately!
Treatment of pus itch with homeopathy
For external treatment, you can dab the scabs with a diluted Hypericum tincture three times a day.
The following table includes the most common forms of pus itch and possible combinations with other symptoms. The table lists which homeopathic remedy is recommended in these cases. Since pus lichen can also occur in combination with many other symptoms, it only contains the most common ones. You can find compact information about other symptoms and how they can be treated with homeopathic remedies in Sven Sommer’s guide “Homeopathy for Children”.
