Is Blood In Stool Due To Impetigo Or Just Hemorrhoid?
I am a wrestler and I obtained impetigo at a tournament and I am now on antibiotics and a cream treatment. My sister is a med school student and told me to look for blood in my urine. I have no blood in my urine but I noticed some blood in my stool today and I just want to know if I should get it checked or if it is just a hemroid

Get your urine analysis also done as when very small quantity of blood pass through urine you can not detect by naked eye you got get your urine tested microscopically.It is important . DO not come to a conclusion all by yourself that you have got hemorrhoids. Let your doctor decide that.for impetigo what antibiotic orally you have not mentioned.Next time please do write all details for proper advice.Some drugs do cause Malaena that is blood in stools.
