Depending on the severity, treatment involves either oral or intravenous antibiotics, using penicillins, clindamycin, or erythromycin. While illness symptoms resolve in a day or two, the skin may take weeks to return to normal. The USA Food and Drug Administration has approved 4 antibiotics-- omadacycline (Nuzyra), oritavancin (Orbactiv), dalbavancin (Dalvance), and tedizolid (Sivextro) --for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. Because of the risk of reinfection, prophylactic antibiotics are sometimes used after resolution of the initial condition.
