A member asked:
My daughter has impetigo which has shown no improvement over past 1.5 months of antibiotics. how else can this be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Review Dx: Any time treatment has failed you must review the diagnosis and make sure it is not a look alike disease. Impetigo is also a problem that can recur if the predisposing conditions do not change.Treatment can be worked out when you sort through the issues.
