I have impetigo on the back of both ears, all along the back of my neck, the top right side of my forehead and the left side of my arm. I was on antibiotic pills and that did nothing to help. I m now on an antibiotic ointment and still have seen no improvement. I noticed today that there s small red lumps now going half way down my legs. It is still spreading and everything I m trying just doesn t work. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I have had this for over 3 months now and been to the hospital a couple times but never any improvement. I just want to get rid of this so I can start to get sleep at night and be able to leave the house with out my entire hurting from the infection.
Hi. Going by the sites that you have mentioned, more than the condition that you mention, I can think of an edematous skin condition called seborrhea eczema. It usually starts behinds the ears and can then spread to the other hair bearing areas of the body. I think you need to get your diagnosis revised. Since both topical and oral antibiotics are not helping, so it favors an edematous etiology. You might need to apply topical antifungal-steroid Combination creams over the affected area. Do not use oil over the affected area. Take oral antihistamines for the associated itching. Hope it helps Chat Doctor.
