Infection from waxing(corrected!!!!)

I had a patient in yesterday who the day before had her legs waxed. She was
in pain from lots of infected pustules (greyish green) on her shin. She
told me that it felt like a stabbing pain, like a deep cut and the skin felt
as if it were tight. I am interested to know what anyone out there would
have prescribed!! I have to admit I phoned the Homeopathic Helpline as they
are better at acutes than me!! I have just phoned her and she is feeling
better today. She was feeling flu like with it yesterday. The leg is less
painful
when it is up. The pustules are still there. A few have popped and some have
got bigger. She is going to see if she can get into a bath with some
lavender
and chamomille oils in it. After she will swab the leg down with Echinacea
tincture which she has been doing regularly to keep the infection down.

Comments invited!!

Rochelle
