Suggest Treatment For Impetigo
Question: Ive been diagnosed with impetigo and I am putting bactroban on the area with a q-tip and being very careful about applying it without spreading the fluid that seems to drain. The rash started in my nose and has spread to the outside and continuing to get worse and not better. I have been on vibramyacin 100mg twice a day for 3 days now any suggestions? Not clearing up at all
