A member asked:

I was diagnosed with bollous impetigo. how long can it survive on inanimate objects such as towels, clothes, or soap. i don't want to spread it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wash and clean: Staph can last for days on surfaces. Wash potentially contaminated clothing and towels and this usually clears the issue from these items. Clean surfaces with lysol disinfectant.
