Common Questions and Answers about Augmentin and impetigo

In October 2009, I caught a very bad case of impetigo, and was given antibiotics to combat it. In a couple weeks it cleared up, but in less than a week after treatment my skin broke out with these oozing, golden crusts once again. The dermatologist I was seeing prescribed all sorts of antibiotics to try to cure me, but all served to be only temporarily effective. All the drugs probably did my body more harm than good in the long run.
2 weeks ago, I was diagnosed with Impetigo and Folliculitis, most likely caused by the same bacteria living on my body. The doctor diagnosed the Impetigo by looking at it, and he prescribed me Doxycycline and Muporocin (SP?) After a few days, the Impetigo began to clear up. It was in the left corner of my lip. There is still a bit of redness there, but nothing else and no irritation. The folliculitis was on my head, back, different areas of my thighs, and occasionally my chest.
no one seems to know what it is, while some are sure it is an allergic reaction, and that it may be impetigo. I have been questioned thoroughly and have not used any new creams on my face or tried new perfumes, detergents, soaps, or anything.
Please let me know if you can help me solve this mystery!
My 11 yr old daughter has a red bumpy rash on her bottom lip and under the lip. She just has one large bump in the middle of the bottom lip and several small bumps above her chin. She originally thought it was just blemishes so she washed her face several times a day, but there was no improvement, and now they are red, very sore, & covered in a yellow/brown crust. They also burn if she touches or picks at them.
so I took my STD test but before I got the result I panicked thinking of gonorrhea or syphilis and took Augmentin for 3 days. Now the tests are all negative but considering the window period for some STD, should I finish taking Augmentin as a precaution to get rid of the possible infection? Thank you.
Because I had been previously diagnosed (and treated with 1000mg Amoxicillin three times daily) with a sinus and left ear infection about a month earlier he suspected that I could possibly have some type of resistant sinusitus and prescribed Augmentin XR (1000 mg) 2 pills twice a day. I had oral sex again with the asymptomatic guy again on 4/11. I was informed by the guy who developed gonorrhea of all this today, 4/14, and have not had sex with him since before his symptoms began.
t think much about them and kept applying clotrimazole and miconazole creams and itch relieving powders on my lesions.
Then my ringworms grew outta control so I went to a doctor to get checked out. The doctor prescribed me antibiotics, an anti bacterial cream and sedatives to help me sleep. I started taking everything except the sedative.
Then she said I had bullous impetigo and gave me an antibiotic and an ointment to apply to the affected area. Well, over some time, the sore areas began to heal, but left really dark, ugly scars all over my chest area, legs, arms, and face, which has really affected my self esteem. Presently, the blisters have returned. They are now in my hair, but are more like flakes or crusty areas on my scalp that hurt when I try to even comb or brush my hair.
I was wondering if anyone else has taken Augmentin. I was prescribed it for a double ear infection. Originally I was given acetic acid drops but they aren't working.
I plan on calling my OB in the morning to double check. They are pregnancy category B. Although they are thought to be safe not many studies have been done on them. I'm nervous about everything. This is my first pregnancy and I am only 18.
Thank you!!
Earlier this afternoon (july 7th), i ended up going to urgent care and the doctor said i had impetigo, and he wrote me up a prescription for antibiotic ointment (Mupirocin Ointment USP, 2%) and sent me on my way.
I still have some questions though!
1.) i read that impetigo is highly contagious. How contagious is it? i always wash my hands after i apply the ointment, and I don't touch the area at all, except when im putting the ointment on.
2.
It is highly likely that Augmentin in the dose and duration I just recommended would abort incubating gonorrhea -- which almost certainly you didn't catch anyway. You can safely take the drug then continue unprotected sex with your wife.
The problem here isn't just STD; you apparently are reacting emotionally to the sexual event, perhaps conflicted about your own sexual orientation or preferences. But this isn't a counseling service, so that will be all for this thread.
As an Asian I have very smooth skin. however 5 months ago I was told that I had impetigo. I had some antibacterial cream prescribed and a cream to get rid of the flaky skin that comes impetigo. It has been 5 months and I still have some bumps. They aren't impetigo, ( no leaking), but these are abnormally large lumps on my skin. The would cluster and would look like acne. but when I pop them only blood comes out.
was aware I had the seizure problem and prescribed cipro, which I had to call and tell them to send me something different. The one at the pharmacy now is Augmentin. Just need a neurologist`s expert opinion as to whether or not it is alright to take Augmentin with my myoclonic seizure condition. Do not want to start up any seizures. However, this UTI is hurting so badly!!! If It is too risky then I can`t take it!!!! Please help me.
I went online and found that impetigo seems to be associated with HIV, though with which stage of the virus, late or early, I haven't been able to figure out based on my "research". I went to see my Doctor and he swabbed the back of my throat to test for strep which came back "slightly positive". Having read that impetigo and strep throat are cases by the same bacteria, I was a little relieved..
My daughter had impetigo several weeks back. She was treated with a cream and oral antibiotics. The area has healed. However, she has and pigmented discolored area exactly the same size as where her impetigo spot was. Will this go away? How long will it take? Is this normal and is there anything we can do to help this area return to its natural skin color.
This looks like a cold sore, but after reading on internet, it sounds like odds are it is more likely impetigo. It started as a pimple like lesion and looks more like a flat/slightly raised brown crusty lesion? Please help me figure this out, or give me more info on what this could be, so I know whether to go right in to see a doctor. Thank you.
i also home treated my impetigo first with neosporin and then afterwards i used tea tree oil. the scabs cleared up and i was sure it was gone. the only symptoms left were very small patches of redness seemingly under the first layer of skin on my nose. i tried using tea tree oil to make it go away. but it didnt. its been about 3 weeks since the impetigo went away. im very sterile. i wash my hands often and whatnot but what bothers me is this abnormal coloring of red/light red on my nose.
Hi there, my friend put my 2 year old god-daughter to bed one night to find her face and legs covered in water blisters that had formed and broken over night. The doctor she saw said it could be a very strange case of the chicken pox but neither of us are so sure as they didnt spread to anyone or anywhere else on her body. She was exposed to the sun with sunscreen and pants on the day before and has not been exposed to any chemicals or new lotions or anything as far as we know.
Augmentin will affect your pill. The other one I do not know about. It probably takes a couple of days for the antiboitics to get out of your system. You might wanna use a second form of protection just in case.
