I have had impetigo on my face for nearly four months straight after travelling. I haven't gone a full week without a spot popping up on my face. I have done three rounds of antibiotics, the whole decolinisation process, use the topical ointment on the spots, change towels and bedding daily, wipe down all surfaces and things that I touch regularly. I don't wear any makeup, and don't shave or mess with my face. I just want to get a hold of this, I have seen other posts of people dealing with this for years. I don't want that, there has to be a way to keep it away. No one in my family has been contaminated. This is honestly such a shit condition, I am struggling mentally because I don't like leaving the house, I look scary and I am afraid of contaminating others. I am trying so hard to be strong and not talk negativley about myself and keep a positive mindset, but when another spot comes up it is sooooo heartbreaking. I can't catch a break. On top of this I am dealing with hormonal issues and PCOS (haven't had a period in 8 months). I know this is really not a big deal and there are other worse things out there but please, if you have any advice let me know. I want to be able to wear makeup and live my life as normal.
