DS #2 has impetigo?

[hillview]

I think DS #2 has impetigo. Ugg. Anyone BTDT? I talked to pedi office and they just said apply neosporin and if it doesn't get better, call back tomorrow.
TIA!

DD1 had it and was given a prescription antibiotic cream. IIRC it is a form of staph infection, so if the neosporin doesn't clear it up in a few days I would ask for something stronger. Hope he feels better soon!

We have ALWAYS had a prescription cream with the 3 or 4 cases we've had. Ive never heard of using neopsorin on it
