Impetigo is a general infection of the skin resulting in blisters that may occur anywhere on the body but are usually experiential around the nose or mouth. It is caused by one of two different types of bacteria; either group A streptococci or Staphylococcus aureus. Usually children and young adults are affected. In adults, impetigo may follow other skin problems or after an upper respiratory tract disease.

Impetigo occurs more in the hot sticky summer months. Impetigo is extending person to person through direct contact with discharge from blisters. An itchy rash or red sores form that swelling and then ooze. The sores may produce in size and spread. When wound break, they form a flat, honey-colored crust. Blisters appear four to 10 days after experience to the fluids from blisters on another person.

Impetigo can be successfully treated with antibiotics agreed by a health care provider. With antibiotic cure, healing should begin within three days. Impetigo is infectious. It is important to wash the rash with soap and water and to cover it insecurely with gauze or a dressing. Thorough hand washing is necessary, particularly after touching impure areas of the body.
