What to do if i have impetigo! how should i disinfect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impetigo: Take warm soapy baths to which you have added 3-4 tablespoons of clorox. Soak for 20-30 minutes at least twice a day. After the bath apply an antibiotic ointment to individual lesions. Also apply the antibiotic ointment in your nasal nares four times a day. Make sure you keep your towel seperate
