Essential Oil Treatments for Impetigo

This is a skin infection that’s highly contagious and common. It might cause blisters and sores but not a serious condition. Within a week or so of treatment, it improves or a couple of weeks in case no treatment is used. The most common type of impetigo is non-bullous, while bullous impetigo is another.

They leave behind red sores that soon burst releasing a golden, thick crust around two centimeters in diameter. The sores might not be painful but can be very itchy. Essential oils help in relieving the itching caused by impetigo and motivate rapid healing of the patches and blisters. They include: Patchouli, Tea Tree, Eucalyptus Oil and Lavender-High Altitude.
