Chronic Impetigo

Aimeelynn5
My son is 3 years old and has had chronic impetigo for about 8 months or more. He gets it in the same place on his right cheek. He has been on a bunch of oral antibiotics that didn't work!! There were creams that didn't work!!! I took him to a dermitologist that gave him a steroid and iodine cream that cleared it up (not completely) for a while. There was nothing on his face last night when we went to bed. This morning it was the size of a silver dollar and seeping!! Underneath his right eye is swollen and red. HOW DO I GET RID OF IT FOR GOOD???????
