Bullous Impetigo 4 month old baby?

I need help from anyone who has had a baby/infant with serious impetigo that won’t go away with topical or oral antibiotics. She has seen her pediatrician (prescribed topical antibiotic), a dermatologist (prescribed eczema cream), and an allergist (prescribed an oral antibiotic) and nothing is working. I was told not to use the topical ointment anymore for fear of bacterial resistance. She has been on oral antibiotic for 5 days now and it seems the same. She has a big weeping sore on both oh her lower cheecks (near her ear area) and yellow liquid comes out. The sores are light red/pink and appear to be on the outer layer of her skin. Thanks.

    I have not had this experience with my children, and I am sorry that you and your poor baby are in this situation. It sounds really serious, especially since your baby is so young. Please go back to your specialist today, or go get a second opinion today- can you see a specialist at the hospital perhaps? Persist until something starts working – she may require IV antibiotics. She is your baby and you need to make sure that something is done for her asap as she could get really sick from this.

    I hope everything will be ok soon for your baby.
