Antibiotics are usually necessary to effectively combat the bacterial infection causing impetigo. Using improper medication or home remedies might not be effective and even worsen the condition.
Previously, you would need to see your GP for antibiotics. But now, the Pharmacy First Impetigo service at Touchwood Pharmacy Odiham can assess your symptoms and prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection.
Its not just locals in Odiham who can benefit from the Pharmacy First Impetigo service. We regularly see patients from across the region including Hook, Fleet, Basingstoke, and the wider Hampshire area.
