Impetigo - new spots after antibiotics?

1 reply

DS (6) acquired impetigo after an infection of a scraped knee. Initially it was treated with a topical cream due to its being a localised infection, but then was moved onto antibiotics when spots popped up all over him as it was then systemic. Antibiotics finished on Thursday, then two new spots have arrived today. Anyone had this? Is it another trip to GP and more antibiotics?? At least it’s summer holidays... Confused

Anyone? I hate to waste GP time and antibiotics if it’s usual for this to happen. Thanks!
