I used to have impetigo when I was a child, and the only thing that would get rid of it was an ointment called Bactroban. It's prescription -- you might ask about it at least.

My daughter gets it all the time and she is 19! Especially on her face. For us it is relatively harmless, just ugly and painful at times. We had a neighbor who got it really bad and had to be hospitalized for it. With impetigo you actually have luck by removeing the scabs and keeping the area very clean. We use the bactroban also. Good luck.
