DS first had impetigo when he was 6 months old, then again when 9 months, and I think he's getting it again. Each time it has totally cleared up between each infection, and we're very vigilant with washing clothes, bedding and hands during and after the infection has appeared.
The strange thing is it has appeared in exactly the same place on the same ear. What does this mean? Surely it means something? The GP didn't seem to think it meant anything.
So, why the repeated bouts of impetigo? Why in the same place?
The anti-biot cream does work, but I want to get to the bottom of it as the GP really wasn't interested in getting into a conversation about it, and I can't really find much on the internet about it.
Any suggestions, thoughts and experiences most welcome
