Suggest Treatment For Bullous Impetigo

Hello doctor, I was diagnosed with bullous impedigo after biopsy was done on my left hand. I was prescribed Ofloxacin 200 mg for one one month. The skin irritation has reduced but lashes are still there. But the infection on the legs is still continuing. It has developed swelling and the skin on foot is oozing. Pls advice.

Hi,

I would recommend you to take a course of oral and topical antibiotics. I would recommend you to take tablet cephalexin 500 mg twice daily for 10 days and apply mupirocin cream on the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
