My 5yr old has impetigo one patch on her leg & a tiny patch above her eye. Have been using the antibiotic cream since Saturday & she hasent touched or itched. Dont know wether to send her back to school?

no - highly contagious

Lots of schools have different policies IME. I'd call them in the morning to see what they suggest.
Hope she's OK.

Don't think you're allowed to send them in till it's gone!

sorry -was a bit blunt.

I hope she is allright soon.

I wouldn't rush it, it must be annoying to have the one above the eye, that is a sensitive bit of skin. Your poor dd.

It will clear up soon.
