Is It Normal For The Lump From Impetigo To Dry And Scab Slowly?
My son (aged 5) has impetigo on the back of his head (under his hair) and has finished his course of antibiotics (advised to take for 5 days) but the lump on the back of his head is still quiet big but appears to be drying out and scabbing. Is this normal and when should the lump go down

Hello. I just read through your question.
The reaction you are seeing is nirmal. It may take another couple of weeks for the lump to go away.
