How to treat impetigo on the fingers optimally?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why, my skin has been itchy and dry, with white spots and red dots, which is very uncomfortable. How should I best treat impetigo on my fingers?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, impetigo is caused by bacterial infection, inflammation, allergic irritation, and local trauma, which can easily lead to redness, swelling, pain, itching, and discharge. You can use antiseptic iodine, erythromycin ointment, or mupirocin ointment for topical treatment. Pay attention to local hygiene and avoid scratching. Do not drink beer or eat spicy food. If necessary, go to the hospital for surgical or dermatological follow-up examination and treatment.
