Have you/your little ones ever had this?

Aimee has developed a scabby chin (started last Monday) and its starting to move/spread, so I took her to the doctors.

They 'think' she has impetigo so have given her antibiotics for it to be on the safe side.

Its supposed to be really contagious though, and none of us have got it, which makes me wonder if thats what it is.

Yes, Paul had it when he started school, aparently its quite contageous! We just got cream off the doc and it soon cleared up.

Iv not had it but neice has not long ago. really contageous, but think its easy enough to clear up. hers lasted only few days xx

I think they normally give out cream, but in extreme cases they give the medicine that Aimee has. Her's isnt extreme, but it does say that they normally give that out for people with a weakened immune system so maybe thats why she has the medicine instead of cream.

Lottie had this last year - the doc offered either cream or anti b's. She said the anti bi's work better and quicker so we took that option and it cleared up pretty quickly. Hope Aimee clears up quickly soon

One of Bethany's little nursery friends has had it recently and she wasn't able to go to nursery at is was contagious (sp) but she had it quite bad. Hope Aimee is ok soon xx

Hayden had it last year. keep it covered and wash your hands after changing dressings I have pics on fb of H's he had anti b's

LOL I have to say that Mara diagnosed it with Lottie, I thought it was just a rash or scratch !! Like she diagnoses everything with my kids - she is better than my GP and can even give me a diagnoses over the telephone!!!!! LOL

go Dr Mara!!

Awww poor H. that doesnt look like Aimee's, but hers is on her chin.



Its really horrible looking though, she looks like a right scabby little kid, lol!



Im having major problems getting the anti b medicine down her and have resorted to mixing it with orange juice .
