Have Yellow Pussy Sore Under Chin. Took Flucloxacillin. Can You Get Impetigo Very Soon Again?
Can you get impetigo within 2 weeks of a pervious episode (which was treated with flucloxacillin). My first episode I had a horrible yellow, pussy sore under my chin- it went away after the antibitotics which I finished last Monday. The 2 days ago I now have another yellow, pussy sore at the front of my chin just under my lip.
Hi. Seems like you are a carrier of staph. in your nasal flora thus giving rise to repeated infections. I would advice that you repeat the course of oral antibiotic for a week and apply Topical mupirocin ointment twice daily in the vestibule of the nares for 5 days to eradicate carrier state.
