Spots/impetigo?


Right, I went to see a private dermatolagist a while back, and he perscribed me duac to deal with my recurrent impetigo. Although, the duac leaflet says nothing WHATSOEVER to do with impetigo, and im wondering if its really the right stuff. Tbh, it doesnt really work that well, and my impetigo normally comes from where i had a small spot before.

Any doctors/dermatolagists that can help me out?
Is duac actually used for treating impetigo?
(i tried other things with even less improvement, such as antibiotics and all the creams i got my normal doctros)
thanks

Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection. It causes pustules (pimples with pus in it). It is usually treated with topical antibiotics (Bactroban).
Are you sure you have impetigo?
Duac is used for acne not impetigo.
If you have acne there are many treatments including topical and oral antibiotics, and if you have severe acne you can get a prescription for Accutane.
