A member asked:
I have had recurring impetigo for the 3rd time. the first time i was given a topical and oral antibiotic..then i was put on another oral antibiotic that i just finished a few days ago. do i need to be worried about my immune system?

The worries about immune system would not help, it would only make it worse even if you have immune system dysfunction. I would suggest that you pay attention more to daily hygiene and probably use of antiseptic or learn bleach bath to reduce chances of recurring impetigo.
