Just got diagnosed with impetigo today and got some antibiotics (4 a day) and fusidic acid (twice a day) to use. It’s starting to annoy me though any clue how long it takes to go? I start college on the 21st and don’t want to go like this 
Any tips on getting it to go faster?
Heres a pic just to clarify its impetigo-

Got two tiny bits on my back and one spot on my arm.
Once you start treating it impetego clears up pretty quickly. It should be gone by the time you leave for school. My son had a small patch recently and it was 90% gone after 7 days of treatment.
