Impetigo Treatment — Pharmacy First at Knights Pharmacy

Impetigo spreads quickly, so early treatment matters.

Through NHS Pharmacy First, our pharmacists can assess and treat this contagious bacterial skin infection free of charge, without a GP appointment.

Symptoms to look out for

Red sores or blisters around the nose, mouth or hands
Blisters that burst and form distinctive honey-coloured crusts
Itching and irritation around the affected area

How we treat it

We can supply topical antibiotic cream for mild cases or oral antibiotics for more widespread infection. Keep the area clean and avoid contact with others until 48 hours into treatment.
