A member asked:
Can someone tell me how long will it take for my impetigo to heal/look better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impetigo: Impetigo should improve within 5-7 days of starting the antibiotic. If the rash is widespread, you may need to use an oral antibiotic in addition to a topical antibiotic. If not improving, you should seek medical attention.
