I have been investigating about it and find out that there is no cure for it, the best thing that you could do is anticipate it on time and then make the part of your body that is infected removed

Flesh eating disease.

When I was in Africa I ran into a girl who had a Flesh eating disease all over her right arm, the top of her chest, and half way down her back. I asked the villagers if she had seen a Doctor, and they said yes, she had gone to several Doctors but there was no cure for the disease. I asked what would happen to her? And they said that the disease would soon spread down her chest and eat through her stomach, and her guts would burst open and she would die. I said O my God we need to try to do something to help her!

I had brought some medicine with me from the U.S. in case I got sick in the middle of nowhere. So I gave her some Bactrin which is an anti-biotic similar to Penicillin, and a bar of Ivory Soap. I told her that the Bactrin would help fight the disease on the inside, while the Soap would fight the disease on the outside.

I explained to her that there were little tinny bugs inside the scabby disease that were eating through her skin, and that she needed to try to soak off in water as much of the scabby disease as possible. Then put a little bit of water on top of the bar of Ivory Soap and rub it to make a paste, and dab the paste on the raw open wounds. I told her that it would burn like hell for a minute or so, but then it would start to feel much better. I told her to leave the soap on the wounds all the time to keep them from getting infected, and to wash it off and apply new soap twice a day.

I had to leave to work on a dam project, but 8 weeks later I returned to her village and it had killed the disease. You could see the new skin on her back and there was no ugly scaring or discoloration of skin.
