Impetigo:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Topical mupirocin is the treatment of choice if the lesions aren’t too extensive. It’s highly effective against group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Mupirocin also eliminates nasal carriers of these organisms. Extensive or nonresolving lesions require systemic antibiotics.
Therapy may also include removal of the exudate by washing the lesions two or three times a day with soap and water (or antibacterial soap) or, for stubborn crusts, warm soaks or compresses of normal saline or a diluted soap solution.

Therapy also includes removal of the exudate by washing the lesions two or three times a day with soap and water or, for stubborn crusts, using warm soaks or compresses of normal saline or a diluted soap solution.
