Impetigo reoccurring

2017-07-31 09:30:58
I went to the ER last week and was diagnosed with impetigo, they treated me with Mupirocin 2%. Within a few days I was pretty cleared up, well today its back and Im about out of ointment. Do you think I was misdiagnosed or not treated with the proper medication, and what shoud I do, go back to the emergency room?
