Can cold sores turn into impetago?
Cold sores can be secondarily infected with bacteria, resulting in impetigo.
Impetago what does it look like?
It sometimes starts as a spot or a blister and often is in the corner of the mouth but can be all over the body. As it develops, it turns a lot redder and weeps. It is highly contagious, so make sure the infected has their own towel and face cloth. Hope this helps !!
What are the symptoms of infintago?
I think you mean Impetago which has a common name of School sores. This is an infection which needs antibiotic treatment prescribed by your doctor. They are called school sores only because they are highly infectious and children at school can catch the bug off others more easily than anywhere else.
Your 8yr old son has infataigo in his ears under his nose and around his mouthhow has he caught it?
Impetago is a highly contagious disease that causes scabs to be formed wherever it has spread causing itchiness you wouldn't believe . Scratching to relieve the itch actually pulls the scabs off resulting in other bareas to become infected. It can be contacted anywhere and is easily treated with drugs.
