Aloe Vera
When a skin infection is accompanied by redness, pain, swelling, and heat, it’s important to treat it quickly to avoid further complications. Aloe vera relieves various skin conditions and is often found in over-the-counter medications for acne treatment. However, it can be used as a topical treatment for multiple infections.
The soothing gel of aloe vera effectively treats minor skin problems like sunburns, insect bites, cuts, scrapes, and infections. For example, aloe vera gel can reduce the redness and inflammation if you have infected acne. In addition, aloe vera gel can slow down the growth of bacteria that cause infections if applied immediately after exposure to sunlight or any other burns. It also helps eliminate itching and speed up the healing process of minor wounds.
This plant contains many active compounds like anthraquinones, phenols, and enzymes that help fight infection and control inflammation in the body. In addition, this plant’s anti-inflammatory property helps reduce the redness and swelling around the infected area.
