Strep A bacterial infections affect the throat and can manifest on the skin, leading to conditions such as impetigo and cellulitis. While medical attention and antibiotics are paramount in treating these infections, specific natural remedies can offer supplemental relief and assist in the healing process.

Natural Remedies for Strep A Skin Infections

1. Maintaining Cleanliness

  • Why It's Essential: Keeping the infected area clean curtails the spread and aggravation of infection.
  • Application: Clean the infected area gently with mild soap and water daily. Cover the cleaned area with a fresh, dry bandage.

2. Utilize a Warm Compress

  • Benefits: A warm compress can augment blood circulation, diminish inflammation, and relieve discomfort.
  • Application: Immerse a clean cloth in warm water, squeeze out excess water, and place it on the infected area for about 20 minutes. Repeat several times daily.

3. Leverage Turmeric's Properties

  • Benefits: The anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial attributes of turmeric can be beneficial.
  • Application: Create a paste by blending turmeric powder with water or coconut oil. Apply to the affected area, let it sit for 20-30 minutes, and rinse with warm water.

4. Aloe Vera for Skin Relief

  • Benefits: Renowned for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties, aloe vera can aid in skin recovery.
  • Application: Directly apply fresh aloe vera gel or pure aloe vera juice to the infected area 2-3 times a day.

5. The Power of Tea Tree Oil

  • Benefits: Tea tree oil's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can offer relief.
  • Application: Combine a few drops with a carrier oil (like coconut oil) and apply to the skin. (Note: Avoid using tea tree oil on children, pregnant, or breastfeeding individuals unless advised by a healthcare professional.)

6. Soothing Oatmeal Bath

  • Benefits: An oatmeal bath can relieve irritated and inflamed skin.
  • Application: Integrate colloidal oatmeal in a warm bath and immerse the affected area for 15-20 minutes.

Strep A Skin Infection Remedies

Posted by EB (England) on 09/28/2023

My grandson has been suffering from recurring bacterial infection - strep A in his nappy area. I don't see any advice on this website for this. He has been on antibiotics for 6 months on and off as well as antifungal cream. If anyone has advice that would be great.

Hi EB

I saw a video on YouTube by Barba Oneil where she used a grated potato and placed it on the private area overnight and it cleared up the infection. Barbra is an Australian Naturalist and has many many Natural fixes.

God bless

Hello,

Either a potent, high quality ozonated olive oil salve (e.g., earthonated.com) or EmuaidMax cream (emuaid.com) would work very well for this condition. Would also include a high quality probiotic for a while and a no sugar diet.

Hoping your grandson heals quickly!

Try alternating a colloidal copper spray and a colloidal silver spray in the area. It's safe for the skin. Anti bacterial, anti fungal, etc. Allow the area to dry or use a blow dryer. Moisturize with coconut oil and emu oil. Give the child lots of probiotics to help his immune system, especially now that he's been on antibiotics. Mom of 6 here… hope that helps.
