Impetigo, is there a fast way to cure this?

Topical or oral antibiotics are usually prescribed.

Treatment may involve washing with soap and water and letting the impetigo dry in the air.

Many general practitioners choose to treat impetigo with bactericidal ointment, such as fusidic acid (Fucidin) or mupirocin (Bactroban), but in more severe cases oral antibiotics, such as flucloxacillin (eg Floxapen) or erythromycin (eg Erythrocin) are necessary.

It is important to dissolve the scabs with ointment because the bacteria that cause the disease live underneath them.

best way to find out is to see a good dermatologist who can assess how serious the case of impetigo may be

it's herpes. there's no cure. sorry.

no cure. just hide it if you can.

You can keep it CLEAN AND DRY. IT WILL GO AWAY ON ITS OWN. ITS NOT HERPES. It is CONTAGIOUS THOU DONT EXPOSE ANYONE ELSE TO IT. TRY DERMASIL.
