The objectives of the two types of research and their underlying philosophical assumptions are simply different. However, as discussed in the section on âphilosophies guiding researchâ, this does not mean that the two approaches cannot be used in the same study.
Signs and symptoms. Contagious impetigo. This most common form of impetigo, also called nonbullous impetigo, most often begins as a red sore near the nose or mouth which soon breaks, leaking pus or fluid, and forms a honey-colored scab, followed by a red mark which heals without leaving a scar.
DOSING: For the treatment of impetigo, a small amount of the ointment is applied to the affected area, usually three times daily (every 8 hours). The area may be covered with a sterile gauze dressing. If there is no improvement in 3-5 days, the physician should be contacted to re-examine the infected area.
