my poor daughter has impetigo. it's come out of nowhere and taken hold really quickly. her face has erupted in quite bad sores and she has sores on her scalp and back too.
i had no idea what it was. yesterday she had what seemed to be chapped skin around her nose [she has also had a bad cold]...but after a trip to the chemist, who took one look and said,'impetigo', we took her to the nearest Suffolk doctor available.
she's on antibiotics now, and i think they are just about starting to help. but, bless her, she's really wretched, her nose a dreadful mess, and almost completely closed up in one nostril. i'm taking her to the docs again tomorrow as am concerned.
it really is vile infection. poor bairn.
