While it is true that some bacteria live in the human body without harming health, it is important to know that staphylococci are pathogenic microorganisms, i.e. bacteria capable of causing disease. Staphylococci generally attack the skin, but in particular cause necrosis of the skin tissues on which they proliferate. There are several types of staphylococci, the best known of which is undoubtedly Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that is found in particular at the origin of furunculosis or malignant staphylococcal disease of the face. Depending on the case, staphylococcal disease can be acute, and therefore rapidly evolving, or on the contrary chronic, thus being characterized by a much slower evolution.
Staphylococcal disease usually occurs as a result of a previous infection such as an abscess or boil and can in the most extreme cases spread through the bloodstream and lead to sepsis. As a result, it is very important to use specific antibiotics that are the only way to overcome the infection and prevent it from having serious health consequences. Nevertheless, homeopathy can also be used before and during the treatment of dermatosis in order to relieve the feeling of discomfort related to the lesions, reduce the risk of aggravation and promote lasting healing. But if the infection persists and takes a long time to disappear or if it appears again some time after remission, homeopathic treatment then helps to obtain better results thanks to the beneficial action of remedies on the infectious foci.
Symptoms
When staphylococcal disease occurs, a set of vesicular, oozing, crusted, and diffuse lesions appear on the area of the skin affected by the infection. Dermatosis can be highly contagious and spread quickly from one individual to another if basic precautions are not taken to limit the spread of the infection.
Treating acute cutaneous staphylococcal
diseaseAs soon as the first lesions appear, 5 granules of Hepar sulfuris calcareum 15 CH and 5 granules of Siegesbeckia orientalis 5 CH should be taken twice a day to reduce the intensity of symptoms until the appropriate allopathic treatment is initiated.
Treating chronic or recurrent cutaneous staphylococcal
diseaseIn both cases, the practitioner will obviously be better able to prescribe the disease-modifying treatment that will best act on the condition based on various factors such as the evolution of clinical signs for example. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the most appropriate remedies for chronic or recurrent staphylococcal disease are generally prepared from Hepar sulfuris calcareum, Staphylococcinum and Silicea.
When to see a doctor?
Any staphylococcal disease requires immediate management and must be followed up by a doctor. Indeed, homeopathy alone cannot overcome the infection and can only intervene accordingly as a complement to antibiotic therapy. In addition, it is important not to delay in seeking medical attention to avoid any risk of sepsis.
