Alternative therapy for skin infection in the leg
- Massage the affected area with heated Sesame seed oil before taking bath.
- Take equal amounts of margosa leaves and turmeric and make a paste by adding a little water. Apply this regularly to the infected area.
- Mix turmeric, mustard seed and lime juice and make their paste. Regular application will cure the infection.
- Mix one part of tea tree oil and two parts of vitamin E or any other oil.
Rub this on the skin as many times as you can. - Do not bathe in very hot water. After coming out of the bath, wipe your skin carefully and apply glycerin all over. This will keep the skin smooth.
- Do not use soap over the infection, just clean it with a soft, moist and warm cotton cloth.
- You can also apply mustard oil to the infected area and leave it to dry.
- Do not scrub it or use your nails to remove the dead skin.
- Apply any antiseptic cream on the infection liberally before going to sleep so that it does not get hurt further.
- Keep cleaning the area gently with a wet cotton ball.
- Wear lose cotton clothes.
- Wash the area with surfer soap everyday to remove the scabies.
- Keep your linen and clothing clean and dry and change them frequently.
