Can I Have Recurring Impetigo In The Same Spot On My Chin?
I have a small spot on my chin just below my lip that looks exactly like an episode of Impetigo. It is recurring every few months in just about the same spot. Both times I saw my Dr. he said it was a cold sore, but collected no swab. It is itchy, drains and then crusts over with absolutely no pain. Should I get a second opinion, and can Impetigo recur in just about the same spot?
Hi Thanks for writing to healthcare magic. Yes it can recur Do try local antiseptics like mupirocin for atleast a week to make sure its treated fully so that it doesnt recur again WIshing you great health Regards DR ARUN
