Neem Oil
Neem is a tree that utilizes its extracts to become oil. It has a yellowish or brownish appearance and is commonly mistaken for the garlic because of its scent. It is usually used to treat insect-related problems such as lice and flea infestation. But due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial, it became a sought-after ingredient in skin and hair products.
Neem can treat impetigo by fighting bacteria-causing diseases such as Staphylococcus bacteria. This minimizes the infested area around the skin, leading to complete and proper healing. It can also diminish the soreness and redness of the skin since neem contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Neem can lessen the severity of impetigo’s symptoms in the body and prevent the infection from worsening,
To use neem, take a handful of its leaves and remove the dirt by washing it thoroughly. Blend the leaves with water to make a paste-like mixture, gently dab the paste to the infected area, and leave it for 20-30 minutes or until it dries. Rinse the mixture off the infected area.
