Treatment for Impetigo

Treatment for Impetigo

GENERALLY, treatment consists of systemic antibiotics (usually a pencillinase-resistant penicillin, cephalosporin, or erythromycin) for 10 days. A topical antibiotic such as mupirocin ointment may be used for minor infections.

Therapy also includes removal of the exudate by washing the lesions two or three times a day with soap and water or, for stubborn crusts, using warm soaks or compresses of nonnal saline or a diluted soap solution.
