ErysipelasCategory: ADMINISTRATION OF REMEDIES. Source: An Epitome Of Homeopathic Healing Art This is a disease of the skin, producing redness, burning and itching pains, appearing in patches, in adults, most apt to appear about the head and face, but in children, upon the limbs, or in very young children, beginning at the umbilicus. It sometimes begins at one point, and continues to spread for a time, then suddenly disappears, and reappears at some other point. _Simple Erysipelas_ only affects the surface, with redness and smarting. _Vessicular_, produces vessicular eruption, or blisters filled with a limpid fluid, somewhat like the blisters from a burn. The _Phlegmonous Erysipelas_ affects the whole thickness of the skin and cellular tissues beneath it, producing swelling, and not unfrequently, resulting in suppuration, ulceration or gangrene and sloughing of the parts. It is a dangerous disease, especially when on the head. TREATMENT. For the simple kind, _Bell._ is all that will be needed, unless there should be considerable fever, when _Aconite_ should be alternated with the _Bell._ For the _vessicular_ kind, where there are blisters, _Rhus tox._ should be used with _Bell_. For the _Phlegmonous_, with deep seated swellings, _Apis mel_ is the most important remedy. I prefer to use three of these remedies, giving them in rotation, beginning with the _Bell._, followed with _Rhus_, and then by _Apis mel._ giving them one hour apart. In a mild case, or after the patient begins to recover, give them at longer intervals. The _Apis_ alone will often be sufficient. During the whole time, the affected parts should be kept covered with dry, superfine flour, some say Buckwheat flour acts most favorably. The diet should be very spare. Eat as little as possible, until the disease begins to subside. A very important part of the treatment of this affection is to keep the patient in a room that is comfortably warm, say at a temperature of from 65 to 75 deg., and keep the temperature _uniformly the same_, as nearly as possible, night and day. Do not, by any means, expose him suddenly to cold air, or a cold breeze, as on going into a cold room, going out into cold air, or undressing or dressing in a cold room. Uniformly warm temperature is of great importance. Next: Burns And Scalds Previous: Heartburn
