Hi pancakegirl,

Your son must have been using his cream for 48hrs (2 days), and his impetigo sores must have dried and stopped blistering or crusting. If his sores are still weeping he mustn't go to the party. This is a sign that the impetigo is still infectious.

thanks for that. it is very helpful. i just hope that it is not infectious otherwise we are in for a major tantrum but i know it is nothing in comparison with infecting other children!

Hope the impetigo settles down, and he gets to go to the party. x
