About 2 years ago I got my first case of impetigo on my lips. I didn't know anything about such an infection at the time as I put various products on it to hopefully get it to go away. About 8 months ago I got it again on my lips, but this time much worse and went to see a doctor who gave me medication for it. I got it AGAIN 2 months ago and had it treated again.
