Hi,
Impetigo needs local cleansing with an antiseptic if there are just a few lesions. However, if they are more than 3, you would also need to have an antibiotic added to your treatment. I will suggest that you send a picture to us for evaluation and we would tell you whether you need to go for more evaluation and antibiotics or not.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
