Dermatologic evaluation of yeast, tyrothricin, chlolophyll and nitrofurazone.
Johnson, H. 1948. Arch. Dermatol. Syph. 57:348-351
This paper cites case studies of some of the many treatments for infectious allergic diseases of the skin. All of these (even penicillin) have proved to cause untoward--and some, even fatal--side effects, either immediately or after an interval. The causes of those effects vary greatly.
An important therapeutic agent mentioned is chlorophyll. It stimulates cell metabolism in the host, resulting in natural repair of damaged tissues. It rapidly suppresses the malodour of wounds that have festered. It is almost completely non-toxic, however administered, and offers a very soothing and bland treatment of the skin, whether for purulent skin infections, burns, or ulcerative and allergic skin conditions. In all or most of the cases treated with chlorophyll (depending on the nature of the skin disease being treated), improvement or healing was partial or complete.
In addition, chlorophyll is described as probably having “the most constant and decided effect” of the substances examined as a stimulant of cell multiplication and tissue repair. Indeed, the green parts of plants have been used in older, indigenous cultures such as those of the Hawaiians and the native Americans.
Another preparation, nitrofurazone, however, also demonstrated impressive effectiveness on a wide range of skin conditions.

Some skin problems can be cured. If you could give me more information about the one that concerns you, I may be able to answer your question.
Kind regards,
