A member asked:
My impetigo is starting to bleed after using mupirocin for 6 days. does it mean that my impetigo is healing now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Please consult a physician to get evaluated. It makes me wonder if you have a ulcerated form of impetigo ( Ecthyma) which is treated with oral antibiotics.
