Impetigo is a bacterial infection that involves the superficial skin.[2] The most common presentation is yellowish crusts on the face, arms, or legs.[2] Less commonly there may be large blisters which affect the groin or armpits.[2] The lesions may be painful or itchy.[3] Fever is uncommon.[3]
It is typically due to either Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes.[3] Risk factors include attending day care, crowding, poor nutrition, diabetes mellitus, contact sports, and breaks in the skin such as from mosquito bites, eczema, scabies, or herpes.[3][4] With contact it can spread around or between people.[3] Diagnosis is typically based on the symptoms and appearance.[3]
Prevention is by hand washing, avoiding people who are infected, and cleaning injuries.[3] Treatment is typically with antibiotic creams such as mupirocin or fluidic acid.[3][5] Antibiotics by mouth, such as cephalexin, may be used if large areas are affected.[3] Antibiotic-resistant forms have been found.[3]
Impetigo affected about 140 million people (2% of the world population) in 2010.[6] It can occur at any age, but is most common in young children.[3] In some places the condition is also known as "school sores".[1] Without treatment people typically get better within three weeks.[3] Recurring infections can occur due to colonization of the nose by the bacteria.[7][8] Complications may include cellulitis or poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.[3] The name is from the Latin impetere meaning "attack".[9]
Nicely explained. Thank you.
It's not always caught from someone. I got it and asked where I could have gotten it from because I'm not in close contact with anyone nor will I share towels. My doctor said it just happens sometimes as the bacteria naturally live on the skin. It could have been caused by a micro cut that I didn't notice. I also have really good hygiene.
same situation when i have cold and scratch it after 2 days i have impetigo so i always have antibacterial ointment.
I had the same thing. I woke up in the middle of the night to a burning sensation in my face, looked in the mirror and spotted a red patch on my cheek and in my neck.
I already new it was off, because it woke me up and I'm a steady sleeper. Next day all covered with lesions and scabs my skin was just gliding of. Didn't come into contact with anybody.
I'm wondering if you by any chance had eczema as a child. I have had this, and for some reason I always have more extreme reactions when it comes down to my skin. Like if something is happening to my skin then it's always bad 🥺
@@m.4523I’m the same. Lifelong eczema sufferer and always get impetigo or cold sores on my lips. Don’t know what to do as it makes me feel so bad
I have a dermatologist appointment for this. It comes back every week. I clean and use a sanitizer for my nose since it colonized there.
How do you know it colonized in your noise

Tnx 😊
