Looks like it to me, I'd go doctors tomorrow just to be on the safe side

Yes ! Pharmacist can issue antibiotic cream

Could well be.
Family member had it here recently.
Infectious, but easily treated.

I’ve got impetigo ar the moment after being scratched on the face by a patient, I’ve got oral antibiotics and antibiotic cream so had to see the GP.

Looks a bit like it. I was hospitalised for a week 25 years ago. Probably much easier to treat now. Mine was much, much worse.

Yes. If you can't easily get antibiotic cream, tea tree oil works well. You'll need a fresh bottle as it loses its potency over time.

It will clear up very quickly.

Tea tree is antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and analgesic.
