Impetigo Treatment in Hampshire
Impetigo treatment in Hampshire typically involves keeping the affected area clean and using prescribed medication to clear the infection. This common and highly contagious skin condition is usually caused by bacteria and appears as red sores or blisters that can burst and form a golden crust. Mild cases may improve with regular washing using warm water and gentle soap, but a pharmacist or GP can provide antiseptic creams or prescription antibiotics if needed. If the infection is more severe or widespread, oral antibiotics may be required to speed up recovery. It is important to avoid scratching the sores, wash hands frequently, and keep towels and clothing separate to prevent spreading the infection. Seeking early treatment can help clear impetigo quickly and reduce the risk of complications.
