I have been diagnosed with impetigo and my doctor gave my polysporin.
Does this work?
Your doctor is a fool. Impetigo is a superficial infection of
the skin and appears as a yellow crusty lesion. It usually appears on the face
and neck area. You may want to try and rinse the area 2-3 times a day with a
wet cloth. The topical antibiotics are generally ineffective and most patients need
a penicillin or erythromycin. Impetigo is easily transmitted to other household
members so, avoid close contact and launder your clothes daily.
