It depends: If by pill and you mean a vaccine for impetigo as dr. Han correctly stated there is no vaccine. However if you mean a pill to treat an active infection, there are many antibiotics in pill form that will treat the bacteria (staph) that cause impetigo. More commonly however, anti-staph topical antibiotics such as bactroban (mupirocin) will be used to treat impetigo.
