A member asked:
Good morning, i think i have impetigo 2 time, doc thought coldsore but it's not. 10 days of antibiotics but still bit there. plus swollen under chin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The antibiotic: Would have treated the impetigo already.As long as the lesion is no longer weepy , give it some time to heal. If swelling under the chin gets bigger , red, tender , it may mean there is pus developing under or an abscess is forming. If that is the case, you need to see your doctor again
