IMPETIGO
Medical Therapy
- The treatment of impetigo depends on the location and number of lesions. Antibiotic therapy could be administered topically or orally.
- Topical therapy is preferred for patients with small amount of lesions and without any bullae. [1]
- 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.
- It is very important to remove the crusts before applying ointment, as the bacteria that cause the disease are located underneath them.
