Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection. The draining sores usually appear on the exposed areas of the body such as the face, hands and lower extremities. Anyone coming in contact with the draining sores is at risk. Newborns, the elderly and individuals with chronic illnesses are more susceptible to infections than others. Open sores draining pus like fluid on the skin are commonly seen. These sores may spread to surrounding skin and other areas of the body. The infection may spread beyond the skin in unusual circumstances.

There are two forms of the disease. Non-bullous impetigo is the common form caused by both staph and strep appearing as small blisters or scabs that form yellow or honey-colored crusts. Often starting around the nose and on the face. Another form, bullous impetigo is caused by staph bacteria, which produce a toxin that causes a break between the epidermis and the lower levels of skin. Blisters can appear in various skin areas, especially the buttocks, though these blisters are fragile and often break while leaving red, raw skin with a ragged edge.

Both non-bullous and bullous impetigo are caused by bacterial infections and are contagious from direct contact with someone who has it, day-to-day items including toys and household articles can hold the infection. At times, however, impetigo appears even if no one nearby has it and the skin seems unbroken. It is important to be aware that not all blisters or ooze from blisters means infection. Other infected and noninfected skin diseases produce blister-like skin inlammation with conditions including herpes cold sores, chickenpox, poison ivy, eczema, and insect bites.

Impetigo is spread by contact with the draining sores on the skin. As long as sores are draining. A person is no longer contagious twenty four to forty eight hours after antibiotic treatment begins. How can impetigo be prevented? Wash your hands often with soap and water. Wash open cuts or sores with soap and water. Do not touch or scratch sores. Cut finger nails short. Cover affected area with gauze, a bandage or clothing. Do not share personal items. Stay out of non-chlorinated pools. Avoid all contact with people, animals or objects that may have been exposed.

The biggest issue in treating impetigo is to focus on preventing impetigo from spreading. Impetigo is contagious from person to person and from one area of skin to another on the same person. When a family member has impetigo, the infection can spread to other household members on clothing, towels, etc. See your health care provider. Keep children home from school for twenty four hours after therapy is started or until sores are healing and no new sores appear. Topical treatments or oral antibiotics for impetigo are available now.

Mild cases of impetigo can be handled by gentle cleansing, removing crusts, and applying the prescription-strength antibiotic ointment mupirocin. More severe or widespread cases, especially of bullous impetigo, may require oral antibiotic medication for impetigo.
