Symptoms of Impetigo
- Small blisters in some cases
- Swollen glands in some cases
- Itching
- Red sores that burst and form golden-yellow crusts
- Sores around the nose and mouth
Understanding Impetigo
Impetigo is a contagious bacterial skin infection that causes sores and honey-coloured crusts, mostly on the face and hands and frequently in children.
Common Triggers
Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria get into damaged skin (insect bites, scrapes, eczema) and pass on through contact and shared towels.
How to Lower Your Risk of Impetigo
Wash hands often, keep cuts and insect bites clean and covered, and do not share towels or clothing.
Care and Treatment for Impetigo
A video visit with photos lets the physician recognise typical impetigo and prescribe an antibiotic cream or tablets where suitable. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest antibiotic cream or, for widespread cases, antibiotic tablets.
- Wash the area gently with soap and water
- Wash hands commonly and do not share towels
- Keep children away from group activities until treated
- Cover sores and keep nails short
