What Is Infantigo?
10. How Is Infantigo Treated?
Upon being diagnosed with infantigo, antibiotics are usually prescribed. What you are administered depends largely on the type of infection and the stage that it is currently at. Skin creams and other topical options may also be offered to help handle the symptoms of the condition like pain and itchiness.
On average, infantigo that has been treated will heal somewhere within 10 days. This period can be elongated in cases where other health conditions delay or impact the rate at which the body responds to the antibiotics. Your doctor can provide a detailed explanation of what to expect.
