Treatment of Impetigo (Mamaso)?
Impetigo is not serious and should not cause worry. Mild impetigo may go away on its own without medicinal treatment, just by keeping the infected area dry and clean. However, for cases lasting more than 7days a topical anti-biotic ointment such as Mupirocin (Bactroban) can be applied on the wound's surface.
Clean and dry the area first, then apply a thin amount of Mupirocin on the wound 3 times a day. Covering the wound with a light gauze can help keep the wound clean and lower the risk of contracting it to the other areas of the body.
Your physician may also prescribe an oral anti-biotic in addition with the anti-biotic ointment, depending on the severity of the infection.
