Abstract

Treatment of impetigo consists primarily of topical use of an antibiotic ointment; the combination of neomycin, bacitracin and polymyxin B is preferred. Systemic antibiotic therapy is seldom indicated.In cases of furunculosis, a program of home hygiene will lessen the likelihood of auto-inoculation and of spread to other persons. Chronic furunculosis may resist all therapeutic efforts. A neomycin-containing ointment is applied intranasally. Autogenous vaccine has produced good results.
