Anyone ever have this? How long did it last? I have it pretty bad. My entire face is covered and I also have little spots in all over my body. I went to the doctor and he gave me some antibiotics. So hopefully they work. Just wondering if anyones ever had this and if you know of any 'nonmedical' cures. Thanks.

The infecection is called Impetigo. Here is a link to some basic info.

As a side note - my little sister had it when she was 6 years old. The pediatrician had my mom wash the area daily with a bleach and water solution. Sounds kind of harsh to me, but I guess they figured the bleach would kill the bacteria. Don't know if this is still a common practice or not!
