Pharmacy First Impetigo
Impetigo is a common and very contagious skin infection. It causes sores and blisters that can burst and form golden-brown crusts, often around the nose and mouth. Our pharmacist can assess the affected skin and, where appropriate, supply treatment to help it clear and reduce the risk of spreading.
Available for adults and children aged 1 year and over. Our pharmacist will examine the affected area to confirm whether treatment is suitable.
