Impetigo is a common skin infection that’s frequently seen in children. It can be uncomfortable but it’s usually easy to treat. If you're dealing with persistent impetigo symptoms, Pharmacy First Bristol is equipped to help.

Recognising the Symptoms

Impetigo symptoms typically include red sores or blisters that quickly rupture, leaving crusty, golden-brown patches. It often appears around the nose and mouth but can spread to other areas. The infection may cause itching and discomfort. In severe cases, symptoms can include pain, swelling, and fever.

At Pharmacy First Bristol, we offer a variety of treatments to help manage and clear up impetigo:

• Antibiotic Creams: These are applied directly to the sores to eliminate the infection.

• Expert Guidance: Personalised recommendations on skincare and infection management.
