A member asked:
How do i know if my staph infection is healing? ive been on antibiotics for about three days. it was either cellulitus or impetigo.

No redness: it should get less red and less swollen. pain should go away as well. basically the skin will look more and more normal and any discomfort should go away. if it is not or it is getting worse/larger/spreading see your doctor.
