What Causes Impetigo?
Hi about two months ago I got impetigo, anti-biotics got rid of it but i shortly got it again. A few days ago i got a stye and now I m developing a cold sore, I was wondering if there was a link such as poor immune system? Maybe something is damaging my immune system? Or perhaps there is a other cause? Thank-you

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
People with low imm8often develop cold sore or impetigo.
So, the symptoms can be related to low immunity.
I suggest to take a multivitamin supplement.
I also suggest to eat healthy, drink liquids and exercise daily.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
