Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection primarily caused by bacteria, often affecting young children. It typically arises from minor skin injuries, insect bites, or conditions that disrupt the skin barrier, allowing bacteria to enter. Poor hygiene and close contact with infected individuals can also contribute to its spread.
Treatment for impetigo is most effective when initiated early, particularly within the first few days of symptoms. Antibacterial creams or oral antibiotics may help to clear the infection and reduce the risk of spreading it to others. Always Consult The Care Pharmacy for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
