Anyone ever had re occuring impetigo if so how on earth do you get rid of it for!


Question: The best thing to do is - don't share towels - every time you use a towel - wash it in the hottest wash! You really don't want to contaminate yourself or anyone else (impetigo is highly contagious).

Wash your sheets in the hottest wash they can take. Don't share face clothes.

Basically don't use anything twice (that has been in contact with your impetigo).

Vestibulitis (sp?) is a 'condition' which is in your nose and is of the same 'family' as impetigo! If you're cleaning your nose out with a cotton bud - use it only once and throw it away!

Hope the above helps and hope your impetigo goes away!

yes when i get a coldsore it usually turns into impetigo,i get antibiotics of docs and he advised me to clear my nose out every night with cotton buds because thats where it lives and breeds.this has helped as i havent had it for over a year now.

A daily dose of Penicillin will do the trick.
