Impetigo
Impetigo is a bacterial infection that spreads through contact. It is highly contagious and most often occurs in infants and children. Impetigo causes sores and blisters to appear on the skin, typically on the face. Fortunately, impetigo is not typically a serious disease and can quickly be resolved with treatment.
Impetigo Treatments
Impetigo may resolve on its own within a few weeks, although treatment can help expedite the recovery process and reduce the spread of the infection. Treatment for impetigo involves antibacterial medications such as penicillin, which fight the bacteria responsible for causing the impetigo infection and its symptoms.
