    Glossary Impetigo

    highly contagious bacterial skin infection causing red sores and crusts

    Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection that primarily affects young children. It is characterized by red sores that quickly rupture, ooze for a few days, and then form a yellowish-brown crust. The infection is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria and can spread through close contact or by sharing items like towels or toys. Treatment typically involves topical or oral antibiotics to clear the infection and prevent its spread.
