IMPETIGO

Medical Therapy

• The treatment of impetigo depends on the location and number of lesions. Antibiotic therapy could be administered topically or orally.

• 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.
