Start my assessmentOften yes. If you have a few sores in one area and no fever, photos are usually enough. A Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews them, usually the same day, and prescribes when appropriate.
Impetigo is a contagious skin infection caused by bacteria. It forms red sores that burst and leave honey-colored crusts. Some people get large, fragile blisters instead.
Bacteria enter the skin through a scratch, a bite or a patch of eczema. Children get it most often, but adults can too. It spreads by touch and by shared towels, clothing or sports gear.
The common type forms crusted sores, often around the nose and mouth. The bullous type forms larger, thin-walled blisters. Both are caused by bacteria, and your clinician can tell them apart from photos in most cases.
For a small area, options include fusidic acid and mupirocin, which are antibiotics you put on the skin. Your clinician decides if a topical treatment is enough. Wider or more severe cases may need other care.
Many sores improve within a few days of starting treatment, and a course is often about a week. Finish the full course even when the skin looks better. Tell your clinician if it does not improve.
Your clinician gives the return rule for your case. A common rule is to return after 24 hours of treatment, with the sores covered. Wash hands well and keep nails short.
Soak and gently wash crusts with warm water before you apply the treatment. Keep sores covered and wash hands often. Do not share towels, and wash bedding and clothing in hot water.
Topical antibiotics are usually well tolerated. Some people have mild stinging, itching or redness where they apply them. Stop and tell your clinician if the skin gets worse or you have a rash.
Go in person or to urgent care right away if there is a fever, or if redness, pain or swelling spreads quickly. Also go if the child seems unwell or the sores are widespread or in a baby. These can be signs of a deeper or more serious infection.
Tell your clinician. Bacteria can live in the nose, and the whole household may need a plan. Your clinician may suggest a swab and extra steps.
No. Impetigo is very common, and it happens in clean, careful households too. Warm weather, small skin breaks and close contact make it easy to catch.
Each consultation costs CA$175. Your pharmacy charges separately for medication. Ask your insurer whether your plan covers the prescribed treatment.
