Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of Impetigo, my treatment advice is:

1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream on it.
3. Take an NSAID like Ibuprofen for 5 to 7 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like Levofloxacin, Cefadroxil, and Azithromycin taken only after consulting a Dermatologist.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
