Cold Sore With Pus
What is this-cold sore, canker sore, herpes?
I haven't kissed or had sex with anyone or anything....
On the inside of my lip there is a sort of pus filled bump that has been there for nearly two weeks. Sometimes it is clear looking, in the begining it sorta looked like blood was in there, and often times it looks filled with a white pus.
It doesn't hurt or anything.
What is it?
It sounds like a canker sore. You do not have to kiss or have sex with anyone to have a canker sore or a cold sore. With cold sores you can contract them as a result of your body trying to fight off viral infection. Canker sores--are mouth ulcers...they can be result of hormonal change, stress, dietary deficiencies, etc.
You treat canker sores with antibiotics, such as Nystatin which is also used to treat thrush. Don't eat any spicy or hot foods...this will make it worse.
Hope this helps and that you feel better.
Bed Sores and Boils
Patients of mine who regularly take the silica/calcium fluoride supplement comment on how their skin feels more resilient. It is also a brilliant wound healer. If you wish to complete a mineral questionnaire to ascertain which minerals would be specifically indicated for you , you can find this on this website in the 'about' section.
Zinc and vitamin A are also vital nutrients for wound healing. Vitamin C assists with collagen synthesis and repair. Should the skin break down, such as a pressure sore, Hypercal lotion by Weleda makes a speedy recovery, or Kiwiherb Calendula ointment.
Alternate position regularly, and try to get fresh air to the site. Check for circulation, that extremities are warm, if limbs become cold and numb, he may accidentally tear the skin. To promote circulation, eat plenty of ginger and chilli. Chopped ginger in a teapot makes a pleasant beverage, which is also good for digestion.
A nutritious diet rich in essential fatty acids is also worthwhile – fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil etc. Lots of vegetables, rich in colour, provide antioxidants to protect and repair cells.
Staphylococcus aureus is a constituent of the pus associated with boils and may also cause boils. It is extremely contagious and it best treated with antibiotics. However, there are naturopathic ways to get past this recurring cycle. Herbal medicine of echinacea, goldenseal and burdock are effective means to improving your own immune system and purifying the blood. Try the herbal Skin Tonic available on this website or see your registered medical herbalist (MNZAMH) or naturopath. After taking a few months supply of these, you will need less antibiotics and the herbs should address the problem.
Eat foods naturally rich in antioxidants and minerals such as parsley, mesculin salad and beetroot.
Studies have found that people experiencing boils are often deficient in zinc. Take zinc and vitamin A to promote healthy wound healing and reduce scar formation.
Topical application of tea tree or manuka oil can reduce a boil. Remember to dilute the oil by 10 per cent to avoid a skin burn.
Poultices of ground linseed or ground fenugreek seeds mixed with boiling water have been traditionally used to draw a boil to a head.
I have treated boils with homoeopathic silica 30c which will drive a boil out to the surface and heal up beautifully afterwards. I would recommend that you see a homoeopath for supervision in this circumstance.
