1. Infantigo is a skin rash very common between 2-6 years, another term used to describe it is Impetigo caused by skin bacteria : streptococci strain/
staphylococcus infection.
2. Choice of treatment will be oral or
topical antibiotic [amoxicillin in your case] and since you got
allergic reaction to it [hives and itching], doctor prescribed you 'predizone' [
prednisolone, steroid] which suppress allergic phenomenon.
3. steroids should be gradually withdrawn when the general condition of the patient improves [reason for giving it for 12 more days]
4. since they inhibit the immunological response,make sure they have not flared up any
opportunistic infection [viral or fungal], or made your body susceptible to infection. [since the rash is breaking out, probably it is spreading]
5. My sincere advice would be to
consult a dermatologist and get prescribed
oral antibiotics.
