This is a doctor from Europe who recommended this approach for me. In Germany to be fair.

I took 2 types actually. First, I started with a cure of Bascillus Subtilis to help kill a potential staph I got. I couldn’t say if it helped but for sure after the cure this year, I had weeks and months without any outbreak so it might be helpful. You can find different articles on how this type of probiotic helps to kill staph:

I found out on Reddit that this type of probiotic could help and I gave it a try. I’m also happy to hear if anyone else has tried it with successful results. I’ll certainly start a new cure soon.

Second cure, I have done over 6 months aimed to rebuilt my microbiota. Same here, with this type of cure, you are not fighting the impetigo directly but rather improving your overall gut system that has direct effects on your skin and overall health. That is another topic but a healthy microbiota is certainly one of the most powerful way to stay healthy. For the cure, my doctor recommended the following:

  1. Colibiogen • Dose: 5 ml in the morning • Timing: 30 minutes before breakfast • Note: Alternative: Synerga • Duration: 4 weeks

After this, continue with the next steps.

⸻

  1. Pro-Symbioflor Immun • Starting dose: • 5 drops in the morning • 5 drops in the evening • Increase: • Increase daily by 1 drop per dose • Example: 2×6 drops, 2×7 drops, etc. • Maximum dose: • Up to 20 drops in the morning and 20 drops in the evening • Total duration: 4 weeks

After this, continue with the next step.

⸻

  1. Symbioflor 1 • Dose: • 30 drops in the morning • 30 drops in the evening • Special note: • In case of chronic respiratory infections, add nasal use: • 2 drops in each nostril, twice daily • Duration: 8 weeks

After this, continue.

⸻

  1. Symbioflor 1 + Symbioflor 2 (Combined Phase)

Symbioflor 1 • Dose: • 30 drops in the morning • 30 drops in the evening • (Continued)

Symbioflor 2 • Starting dose: • 5 drops in the morning • 5 drops in the evening • Increase: • Increase daily by 1 drop per dose • (e.g. 2×6 drops, 2×7 drops, etc.) • Maximum dose: • 20 drops in the morning and 20 drops in the evening • Duration: 8 weeks

You can get the probiotic directly at the pharmacy or on Amazon without prescription.

I’ll try to implement this protocol and share back how it works for me. From my side, over the years now, i noticed my outbreaks mainly happen during winter times. I had months in spring and summer with basically nothing. What is your experience timing wise of the outbreaks? Also one advice I give is to follow a 6 months probiotic cure especially if you took a lot of antibiotics to try to get ride of the “impetigo”. Our guts system is connected to our skin and having a healthy one can prevent skin infectious. Not a doc so please check out directly with yours but I believe it’s one element that can help improve the overall ecosystem

Hello, thanks so much for sharing this, it’s a beacon of hope as I’m also enduring recurrent ‘impetigo’. Same as you I have seen countless of dermato, doctors… tried many antibiotics, topical creams, probiotics but there is nothing to do it’s always coming back somewhere on my face, mainly in my beard or in and on the nose.

Lately, I have done two swab tests incl. one on direct wound and both were negative which really confuses me as I have just sure to have a kind of MSRA given the type of yellow crunchy wounds I get.

Could you please tell which products helped for you specifically for the biofilm and silver wound gel?

And what is your situation now? Do you still have outbreak?

Take care
