Common Questions and Answers about Augmentin impetigo
augmentin
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.
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!!
My grandson has a reoccurring impetigo infection that is on his eyelid, and we’re looking for an otc medicine to treat it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
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.
Exactly two weeks after my last possible exposure, I developed the well
Known, flu-like, swollen nodes, fever and sore throat medley of symptoms. I figured that maybe even exact timing wouldn't matter and that onset of symptoms arent as rigid in timing. I didn't plan to dwell on it UNTIL I developed what could've either been an impetigo or herpes break out near
My mouth. To my horror...
I just recently noticed a small area inside my right nostril that appears to either be impetigo or a cold sore. 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.
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.
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.
i'm 25 years old and i was diagnosed with impetigo today (july 7th). First i had a painful canker sore on my tongue (july 4th) which made it very painful to eat. Then on july 5th, i woke up and i had an abrasion like thing on my lip and around my noise it was red and crusted yellow around my nostrils.
I'm 19 years old and I have had impetigo around my mouth for over two months now and nothing seems to help it. Ive been on three rounds of Flucloxacillin and have also been using Fucidin cream alongside it, but nothing has cured it. It seems to get better to the point that it is almost completely gone, but then I go to bed and wake up the next day and the thick crust has returned.
Hi,
I have a few small pinky colored patches on my face and neck (skin looks normal apart from the color). The color can change in intensity to fairly light and almost unnoticeable to a dark pink/light red blotch. I can't remember when they developed first but I think it was as a result of an impetigo infection 3 years ago (which i took oral antibiotics for and cleared up). However not all the areas affected by the impetigo left marks.
I went to two different doctors. Both thought it might be impetigo. One gave me muciproxin cream and Keflex as an antibiotic. The ones I had did start going away, in fact, I would say they did. However, two weeks into the treatment, I found another one growing to the right of my right eyebrow on the side of my face. I blitzed it with the cream and it basically cleared up in 4 days. Before I started treating them or taking the Keflex, they could last as long as two months before.
Hi,
This could be a bacterial skin infection like Impetigo or an allergic reaction. Impetigo is a superficial skin infection, caused by staphylococcus ("staph") and streptococcus ("strep") bacteria. Though it is more common in children it can be seen in adults.
The non-bullous variety is the common form, caused by both staph and strep. It appears as small blisters or scabs, which then form yellow or honey-colored crusts. These often start around the nose and on the face.

It may be Augmentin or it may be something else. I think you should mention this to your doctor.
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.
it could be bullous or non-bullous impetigo just depending how severe the case is, but google impetigo and see if it looks like it. my daughters were raised red bumps with whiteheads...the hibaclens scrub really helps clear it up you wash the spots with it in the shower, you can get it at your pharmacy.
4 days on augmentin 825 for a chronic dental infection (now a bone infection), I started having major swelling in my hands. This is new, I've never had swelling like this. Yesterday my one hand looked freakishly red and swollen. It was so swollen, that when I straightened out my hand (which was difficult), everything turned white, inbetween the redness.
Anyway, I tried going off the augmentin (I'm taking it in conjunction with clindamycin), and today I feel much less swollen.
