Impetigo

Has anyone ever had this? Does it have to be on the face or can it be on arms and legs? I think my son may have it.

That's where it is on him. He had what I thought was a bite on his ankle, but literally like water was oozing from it for hours. He just got over MRSA, but from what I read online, sometimes it is followed by impetigo. Anyway, I'm taking him to the doctor tomorrow.

Re: Impetigo

Is it on the inner or outer part of the ankle? I believe mine was on the outside..either way, the dr. will help-I remember using a cream..hope all turns out well! Take care!

Re: Impetigo

Usually they will give you an ointment, called Mupirocin. It works great. Go to the dr asap and keep him from scratching the area.
