itching

I had impetigo about 2 weeks ago.  Took my medication and now about a week later I am itching really bad on my legs.  Could that be impetigo again or something else?  They are red bumps.

Hello,
The symptoms and itching of impetigo take some time to settle down. The other possibility is of contact dermatitis or secondary infection of the skin. It can also be due to recurrent case. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
