Patient's question:
The child currently has impetigo. How is this condition generally treated? How long will it take for the child's condition to improve?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal impetigo is a common acute infectious purulent skin disease caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection. Most importantly, the pus in the pustule can infect other skin. If the pustule is large, it can first be disinfected with alcohol or compound iodine, then crushed with a sterile needle, and rinsed with saline or cold boiled water. Then apply 1% gentian violet. If it is severe, it is recommended to treat it under the guidance of a doctor.
