Overview
- The treatment of impetigo depends on the location, number of lesions and the type (bullous or non-bullous). Antibiotic therapy could be administered topically or orally.
Medical Therapy
- Topical therapy is preferred for patients with small amount of lesions and without any bullae[1]; but oral therapy is also accepted.[2]
- Oral regimens are used for patients with several lesions and patients with bullous impetigo.
- Non-medical therapy involves washing the lesions and the rest of the body with soap and water, and letting the impetigo dry in the air.
- Hand-washing and daily bathing is considered a method to prevent impetigo in children.[3]
- It is very important to remove the crusts before applying ointment, as the bacteria that cause the disease are located underneath them.
- The recommended duration of therapy is 7 days but will depend on the clinical response.
