Now she has several more around her mouth some were draining pus but are now scabbed over. But does not look any better. Have been applying neosporin with no releif Doctor: Hello there,Impetigo is very easily treated by applying an antibiotic ointment that is stronger than anything over the counter. Of course is does have to be prescribed by a doctor so I would encourage you to at least call the doctor. Bactroban, Bactrim and Cleocin are the main drugs to treat impetigo. Staph and strep are the 2 diseases that can spread from it so it is very important to start treatment right away. Good luck!
