Abstract

Impetigo is a common infectious disorder of skin. There are two forms of impetigo-bullous and non-bullous forms. The diagnosis is usually clinical. Spontaneous resolution often occurs, although antibiotic treatment is recommended and care taken to monitor for complications, such as post streptococcal glomerulonephritis in children. Immunosuppression is a predisposing factor, especially in disseminated lesion. According to the present review, we can see how the totality of symptoms workout in a case of impetigo, to cure without any external applications. As the human skin does not evolve itself, without the co-operation of the rest of the living whole, it is irrational and thoughtless to consider any skin disease as merely the disease of the skin alone in which the internal portion of the organism takes no part. Mere removal of the skin manifestation by external, mechanical, chemical or topical treatment is considered to be suppression in Homoeopathy. In Homoeopathy it is very important to distinguish between a curative and a suppressive effect because the goal of treatment is the healing of the entire person at the deepest possible level.
