Impetigo
Impetigo
- Impetigo
can be easily treated by using this simple and easy-to-use Impetigo
treatment.
- Impetigo
is a skin infection that is generally caused by one of two bacteria:
Group
A streptococcus
- Staphylococcus
aureus
Impetigo usually affects pre-school and school-age
children, especially in the summer months. A child may be more likely
to develop impetigo if his skin has already been
irritated or injured by other skin problems, such as eczema, poison
ivy, insect bites, or skin allergy to soap or makeup.
When impetigo is caused by Group A streptococcus,
it begins as tiny blisters. These blisters eventually burst to reveal
small wet patches of red skin that may weep fluid.
Gradually,
a tan or yellowish-brown crust covers the affected area, making it
look like it has been coated with honey or brown sugar.
Impetigo that is not caused
by Group A streptococcus is usually caused
by Staphylococcus aureus. This type of impetigo may
cause larger fluid-containing blisters that first appear clear, then
cloudy. These blisters are more likely to stay intact longer on the
skin without bursting.
Impetigo Symptom
Impetigo may affect skin anywhere on the
body but often occurs in the area around the nose and mouth.
Impetigo is characterized by blisters that may burst,
ooze fluid, and develop a honey-colored crust. Impetigo may itch,
and it can be spread by scratching. The infection usually spreads
along the edges of an affected area, but may also spread to other
areas of the body.
Contagiousness
Impetigo is contagious. Children can spread
impetigo from one area of the body to another when
they touch themselves with fingers that have been in contact with
scratched, infected skin.
When someone has impetigo, the infection can spread
to other household members on
- clothing
- towels
- bed
linens that have touched the person's infected skin.
- It can
also be spread among playmates or classmates who contact infected
skin.

Impetigo Treatment
For the very best and latest impetigo
treatment, please click Impetigo
Impetigo can be treated with antibiotics,
which may work, but which also may damage your childs
immune system.
- Or your
childs impetigo can be treated with powerful
and proven, natural remedies.
Impetigo is usually treated with antibiotic
ointment. If the impetigo has spread to
many areas of the body, or the ointment isn't working, your child's
medical advisor may prescribe an antibiotic pill or liquid.
If your child's medical advisor has prescribed an oral antibiotic,
make sure that your child takes it on schedule for the full number
of days prescribed. If your child's has ordered an antibiotic ointment,
apply it as directed.
- If you
must use an antibiotic, please do all you can to help boost your childs
immune system.
- Whether
you risk antibiotics or use a natural
remedy, please keep the skin clean.
- Gently
wash areas of infected skin with clean gauze and antiseptic soap daily.
- If an
area of skin is crusted, soak it first in warm soapy water to remove
any layers of crust.
- It is
not necessary to completely remove all of the crust but it is important
to keep the area clean.
- To keep
your child from spreading impetigo to other parts
of the body, cover infected areas of skin, if possible, with gauze
and tape or a loose plastic bandage as instructed by your child's
advosor or nurse.
- Keep
your child's fingernails short.
Duration
With antibiotic treatment, healing should
begin within 2 to 3 days. A child with impetigo may
return to school when the infection is not contagious. This usually
is about 48 hours after treatment is started.
- You
may use a proven natural remedy
in conjunction with antibiotics for 100% peace of mind, if you wish.
Prevention
- Good
hygeine practices, such as regular hand washing, can help prevent
impetigo.
- Use
soap and water to clean your child's skin and be sure the child takes
regular baths or showers.
- Pay
special attention to areas of the skin that have been injured, such
as cuts, scrapes, bug bites, areas of eczema, and rashes caused by
allergic reactions or poison ivy. Keep these areas clean and covered.
- If someone
in your family already has impetigo, make sure that
fingernails are cut short and that the impetigo
sores are covered with gauze and tape.
- Prevent
impetigo infection from spreading to other family members by using
antibacterial soap and making sure that each family member uses a
separate towel.
- If necessary,
substitute paper towels for cloth ones until the impetigo
is gone.
- Separate
the child's bed linens, towels, and clothing from those of other family
members, and wash these items in hot water.
When
to Call Your Child's Physician
Call your child's Physician if your child has signs of impetigo,
especially if he has been exposed to a family member or classmate
with the infection. If your child is already being treated for impetigo,
call the medical professional if your child's skin doesn't begin to
heal after 3 days of treatment or if a fever develops. If the affected
area becomes red, warm, or tender to the touch, notify your child's
medical practitioner. Impetigo
