Impetigo Treatment: Fast & Effective Relief
from Skin Infection
Impetigo is a common and highly contagious skin infection that primarily affects children but can also occur in adults. Characterised by red sores or blisters, it spreads easily through close contact or shared items. Prompt and proper treatment is essential to prevent complications and stop the infection from spreading. At Pharma Centric, we offer safe, effective, and NHS-recommended treatments for impetigo.
What Is Impetigo?
Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection. It typically appears around the nose, mouth, hands, or limbs as red sores that quickly burst, leaving a golden-yellow crust. While impetigo often clears up on its own, treatment can speed up recovery and reduce the risk of transmission.
Signs & Symptoms of Impetigo
- Red sores or blisters that burst and develop honey-coloured crusts
- Itching or discomfort around the affected areas
- Mild swelling or redness of the surrounding skin
- Often begins around the face, especially near the nose and mouth
Treatment Options for Impetigo
At Pharma Centric, we offer a range of treatments in line with NHS guidelines to help manage and clear impetigo effectively:
- Topical Antibiotics: Hydrogen peroxide cream is commonly prescribed to treat mild infections directly at the site.
- Oral Antibiotics: For more widespread or resistant cases, a short course of oral antibiotics may be recommended.
