How long do you have to stay out of school for an impetigo infection on your scalp?

For an impetigo infection on the scalp, it is generally recommended to stay out of school until you have been on appropriate antibiotic treatment for at least 24 to 48 hours and the lesions are no longer crusted or draining. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider's advice and ensure the infection is adequately treated to prevent spreading it to others. Always consult with a medical professional for specific guidance based on the severity of the infection.
