Symptoms of impetigo?

I think I have impetigo I got it on my nose and a little one on my shoulder, apparently it's suppose to be itchy but mine is really sore never been itchy and it's got yellow scabs. I said to the doctor I think I've got impetigo on my nose and shoulder she just said I think you do here's the prescription with out looking at it properly. I don't wanna show pictures because its embarrassing. But what are the symptoms? Do you think I've got it my symptoms are sore yellow scabs

Update:

Btw mine started off as a little blister and it grew a bit bigger and juicy stuff came out of it and then it stabbed over, it wasn't itchy at all just really really sore

    Now, you have given a great description and so the doctor would have taken all that in.

    You say you have a patch on your nose? Your doc would have been looking at that closely without you necessarily being aware of it as you gave your other information.

    Use your prescription. Right up until the end of the cream/tablets whichever you have.

    Do not share towels with other people, even a hand towel in the bathroom. Change your sheets and pillowcases even more regularly to prevent reinfection until it all heals.

    My little girl got the Impetigo infection from another baby and I immediately rushed her to see the doctor. After the visit, I wasn't feeling very optimistic and my doctor didn't give us much confidence. In fact, I don't thnk he knew what he was talking about.

    After finding he website, I was convinced after all fabulous testimonials and what he had to say. We used everything he outline in e-book and I was pleasantly surprised how fast everything worked exactly as outlined.

    I didn't know something like this existed, but I'm glad I discovered it. My girl is healthy again and I have no more worries!

    Get started and begin using fast Impetigo cure?
