Boils, Skin Abscess
An abscess or a boil is something that nearly everyone experiences at least once in their lifetime. Some unlucky individuals experience it very regularly and certainly understand the discomfort involved in having recurrent abscess and boils. It can be an extremely painful condition and can vary from extremely mild pain to very severe painful as well as complicated condition. Skin abscess is a collection of pus under the skin and is generally localized. It can develop in any part of the body, but is more common under the skin. It can occur even in deeper parts of the body which can be extremely complicated at times even life threatening.
Causes
The pus collection is formed due to the response of the body towards an infection under the skin or a presence of a foreign particle or a body under the skin. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common agent for bacterial infection under the skin. Abscess might occur after an inflammation of a hair follicle or an obstruction of sweat or oil glands. It's also common for individuals to develop an abscess after a surgical procedure.
Homeopathy for Skin Abscess
The homeopathic approach to boils addresses the entire individual and not just the affected skin or tissue. While it's seen that conventional medicine uses topical remedies to treat the skin conditions, as per homeopathy such an approach might resolve the superficial condition, however, suppress the expression of the underlying root problem, driving it deeper inside, eventually leading to other problems such as irritable bowels, headaches or asthma. The homeopathic approach to skin issues is to cure from the inside out, with the aim intended to bring the body into balance. However, an expert homeopathic practitioner will select a remedy or set of remedies that eases the symptoms as well.
