Hi, my daughter is 19 months and was diagnosed with Impetigo. She was given an oral antibiotic and ointment expecting the bumps to heal as antibiotic would kill bacteria. However after 3 days lesions are still coming up and went back to doctor who prescribed pred cort. Is this safe and will it help. why did more lesions come out if antibiotic was to kill the bacteria to dry up existing and prevent more
Hi, I am Chat Doctor. Second possibly may be initial diagnosis was probably not accurate and it is allergic in nature. Difficult to comment on skin lesions without examining. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questionsTake care.
