Impetigo is caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes entering the skin through cuts, insect bites, or existing skin conditions like eczema. It presents as red sores that quickly burst, leaving behind golden crusts that are characteristic of the condition. It’s highly infectious and spreads easily through contact.
Impetigo treatment involves topical or oral antibiotics to clear the infection. Fusidic Acid Cream is commonly used for mild cases, applied directly to affected areas. For more widespread infections or where creams are ineffective, oral antibiotics like Flucloxacillin may be prescribed to clear the infection systemically.
Can you buy Fusidic Acid Cream over the counter? No, prescription-strength treatments require approval from a prescriber to ensure safe and effective use.
Treating impetigo quickly is essential to stop it spreading to others and to prevent complications such as cellulitis or scarring. Keeping the skin clean, avoiding scratching, and not sharing towels or clothing can reduce transmission.
Flucloxacillin tablets are typically used when the infection is more severe or widespread. They work by killing the bacteria responsible, helping the skin heal and reducing contagiousness within 48 hours of starting treatment.
