A member asked:
Please help! i have recurrent adult impetigo, what are the chances of having mrsa? what doctor should i go see?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dermatologist: Mrsa is a possibility but not necessarily a definitive occurrence in anyone who has breaks in the skin. The skin and mucous membranes are our primary barrier against infection and impetigo compromises this barrier. A dermatologist will help you deal with this. Good luck.
