Prednisone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation but is not an antibiotic and does not treat bacterial infections like impetigo. Impetigo is typically caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, and it requires antibiotic treatment to clear the infection. While prednisone may help with inflammation associated with other conditions, it is not effective for resolving impetigo. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment options for this skin infection.
