I have had problems with a skin condition for almost a year now. I get acne like infections on my face (usually nose, near where the corner of my eye and nose meets, chin, around lips, etc). They start out as red like acne, but then open up, get white and can even get crusty, drain, etc. I went to two different doctors. Both thought it might be impetigo. One gave me muciproxin cream and Keflex as an antibiotic. The ones I had did start going away, in fact, I would say they did. However, two weeks into the treatment, I found another one growing to the right of my right eyebrow on the side of my face. I blitzed it with the cream and it basically cleared up in 4 days. Before I started treating them or taking the Keflex, they could last as long as two months before. Has anyone else had such a problem and if so, what did your Dr. prescribe and did it work? I would LOVE to really get rid of this once and for all! Not only that, I have a 3 year old daughter who doesn't live with me. I see her every few months and when I saw her last, she had the SAME type of sore on the left side of her face right near where her left eyebrow ends. I was told impetigo can be contagious. Any help would be great!
