Impetigo is a common bacterial skin infection that causes red bumps or blisters on the face, hands, and other parts of the body. It is more common in children than adults and can spread easily. Impetigo is usually caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. The infection spreads easily through direct contact with the bumps or with items like towels, clothing, or bedding that have been used by someone with impetigo. Symptoms of impetigo include red bumps that quickly break open and ooze fluid, forming a yellowish crust. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, either applied directly to the skin or taken as a pill, to kill the bacteria and clear up the infection. Keeping the affected area clean and avoiding scratching can help prevent impetigo from spreading to others.
