WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

What is impetigo?

Impetigo is a contagious skin condition that usually affects children. It produces sores or blisters that burst and leave crusty, golden-brown patches. These can be itchy and sometimes painful. The area may look brown, purple, gray, or skin-colored in darker skin tones. In lighter skin tones, the affected area will be red. It can spread easily through close contact, especially between people who live together or are in close contact. It is most common during warm and humid weather.
