What is Impetigo?
Impetigo is a common and highly contagious skin infection. It often appears as red sores or blisters, typically around the nose and mouth. While it’s most common in children, anyone can be affected. Although impetigo may clear up on its own, treatment helps reduce symptoms faster and prevent it from spreading to others.
Diagnosis & Treatment
As part of our Pharmacy First service, the pharmacist will carry out a short consultation and assess your symptoms. If impetigo is confirmed, we can provide the appropriate treatment such as antiseptic creams or antibiotics, depending on the severity. There’s no need to see your GP or wait for a prescription, everything can be handled during your visit to the pharmacy.
