Barber's itch rash homeopathy remedies

If you are infected by an unsterilized instrument or cloth at the barber’s shop you could get bacterial infections like barber’s itch, folliculitis, impetigo, or fungal infection of the scalp like tinea capitis.

However as per the International journal of hygiene and environmental medicine data on epidemiology, mechanism of invasion, living, and multiplication of pathogenic fungi it seems likely that a transmission of the germs of "barber's itch" takes place due to the visit of a public bath (swimming pool, outdoors)

While Barber's itch is a staph infection of the hair follicles in the beard area, tinea barbae which is similar to barber's itch is an infection caused by a fungus

Dr.K.S. Gopi a researcher, academician, practitioner, and author of best seller book Homeopathy Easy Prescriber has identified important remedies for this condition
