Our Comprehensive Approach to Impetigo Treatment in Vienna
Your child’s treatment journey at Dermestetics Vienna begins with a thorough consultation. We use advanced diagnostic methods and a review of their medical history to identify potential triggers and develop a customized care plan for their specific needs.
How is my child's treatment plan developed?
We create the plan based on the type and severity of impetigo. We may use medical-grade topical antibiotics, oral medications, and skincare recommendations to promote healing.
How long will my child need treatment?
The duration of the treatment varies per condition and treatment response. Most cases of impetigo improve significantly within 7–10 days of starting treatment. However, for more severe cases, additional time and follow-up visits may be required.
Is your child a good candidate for Impetigo treatment?
Your child may be an ideal candidate for the treatment if they:
- Have red sores, crusts, or blisters that persist or worsen
- Experience recurrent infections despite initial treatments
- Need professional guidance to prevent further outbreaks
