A member asked:
Should my daughters eczema/impetigo be covered with gauze on her face & cheeks? she's on the antibiotic ointment mupirocin
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If around others: If she is around other children or siblings then covering it would be a good idea to prevent spread to others. If not around others then there isn't a need to cover it.
