Impetigo is an itchy, sometimes painful, skin infection. When our child gets a cut, bite or scratch that opens their skin, bacteria can enter and cause a bacterial infection. But impetigo can infect skin even if it’s not broken or punctured. Impetigo is the most common skin infection in kids between the ages of 2 and 5. Older children can also get it. It accounts for about 10% of skin conditions in children. The bacteria that cause impetigo can live on dry surfaces for weeks or even months.
Can adults get impetigo?
Yes, impetigo can affect adults. In adults, the condition may occur after another skin issue. Sometimes it develops after you’ve had a cold or another virus. You may be at higher risk if you:
- Live in a tropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters.
- Have a scabies infection.
- Participate in skin-to-skin contact sports where cuts and scrapes are common.
- Live in close contact with others. Infections often occur among people living in the same house.
What causes impetigo?
Impetigo causes include certain types of bacteria that lead to infection. The most common impetigo bacteria include:
- Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus or “staph”): S. aureus causes 80% of non-bullous impetigo cases.
- Group A streptococcus (“strep”): Group A strep causes 10% of non-bullous cases.
The bacteria usually enter skin through a cut, scrape, rash or insect bite. After they enter the body, the bacteria continue growing in the skin. This can lead to inflammation and infection in the top layers of skin.
A person may also get impetigo by scratching something itchy on their skin, such as chickenpox or eczema. When patient scratch, it breaks the skin, making it easy for bacteria to get in.
Impetigo may also occur without any skin breakage. Instead, it can occur after someone experienced another skin condition, such as:
Adults can also get impetigo through health conditions such as tattoo infections.
Can stress cause impetigo in adults?
No, stress doesn’t cause impetigo. However, stress can weaken your immune system. With a weakened immune system, it’s easier for bacteria to infect you and harder for your body to fight them.
Types of impetigo
There are a few different types of impetigo, for example: 
1- Non-bullous impetigo
Non-bullous is early-stage impetigo. It’s the most common type. The non-bullous impetigo early stages include:
- Developing one or more itchy sores that quickly burst.
- Red or raw skin where sores have broken open.
- Swollen glands near the sores.
- Forming honey-colored crusts over the sores, but the skin eventually heals without scarring.
2- Bullous impetigo
Bullous impetigo is a rarer type of skin infection. It’s more common in infants. More than 90% of cases of bullous impetigo affect children younger than age 2. The stages of this type include:
- Large, fluid-filled blisters form on your child’s skin, but no redness appears around the surrounding skin.
- The blisters become clear and limp and then break open.
- Crusty sores form on child’s skin, and their skin heals without scarring.
3- Ecthyma
Untreated impetigo can develop into ecthyma. Ecthyma is a more serious type of skin infection. It goes deeper into the child’s skin. The stages typically include:
- Painful blisters form on child’s skin that turn into deep, open sores.
- Thick crusts develop on child’s skin, and redness often appears near the surrounding skin.
- After child’s skin heals, scars may form because the infection went deeper into the skin.
Impetigo vs. cold sore
Impetigo and cold sores are both common skin infections that can cause blisters. Cold sores usually occur around the mouth and consist of small blisters. Impetigo can form around the mouth but also on other parts of the face and body. It causes larger blisters. A bacterium causes impetigo, whereas cold sores are a symptom of the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
weeping eczema vs. Impetigo
Impetigo and weeping eczema are both common skin conditions. Impetigo is a type of skin infection and causes crusty, honey-colored sores and blisters, whereas eczema is a type of dermatitis. Weeping eczema sometimes causes blisters with clear or straw-colored fluid. The blisters may be purple or red and they can ooze or “weep” the fluid.
Is impetigo contagious?
Impetigo is highly contagious. Most people get it through direct skin-to-skin contact. One can get impetigo by coming into contact with sores, mucus or nasal discharge from someone who has it.
People can also spread impetigo by sharing items such as towels, clothing or other personal items with an infected person.
How long is impetigo contagious?
Without treatment, impetigo can be contagious for weeks. After starting impetigo treatment, the condition is contagious until: 
- The rash disappears.
- Scabs fall off.
- At least two days of allopathic antibiotics therapy or one heigh dose of a Homeopathic medicine for example: Hepar Sulph, Arsenicum Album, Sulphur, Silica tear etc.
Symptoms
Impetigo happens more often in warmer seasons. Typically, the first signs of impetigo are sores and blisters on and around child’s mouth, nose, scalp, hairline, legs and arms. The symptoms of impetigo develop within three days once the bacteria infect child’s skin. Impetigo on the face starts around the mouth and nose, on the scalp or hairline.
What does impetigo look like?
Impetigo includes blisters, rashes and other skin wounds (lesions). The condition includes the following characteristics:
- Reddish skin surrounding red blisters, full of liquid or pus that eventually looks cloudy. Impetigo blisters may be pus-filled and burst easily. The fluid may be yellow or tan and it may seep out and form a crust. Blisters burst easily and leak.
- Raw, shiny areas that scab over with a yellowish-brown crust. Impetigo rash can spread and cause red, raw skin.
- Skin lesions on child’s lips, nose, ears, arms and legs may appear. The lesions can spread to other parts of their body.
- Swollen lymph nodes near the infected area may develop.
What are the complications of impetigo?
Complications are rare. Certain strains of strep bacteria that cause impetigo can also cause glomerulonephritis. This inflammatory kidney disease can produce high blood pressure and hematuria. Other complications of impetigo may include:
- The rash spreading to deeper skin layers.
- The bacterial infection spreading to other parts of the body.
- Permanent skin damage and/or scarring.
Diagnosis and Tests
A healthcare provider will diagnose impetigo based on how patient’s sores look. You may take a skin culture to send to a laboratory. This will help you to determine the right antibiotic to prescribe.
Allopathic management and treatment
Impetigo allopathic treatment includes antibiotics. A doctor should prescribe topical antibiotics to put directly on patient’s skin. Impetigo treatments may also include an oral antibiotic if the impetigo covers a large area of patient’s skin or multiple body parts. 
Allopathic antibiotics can treat impetigo, but the condition can return, especially in young children. Children are especially prone to scratching and opening their scabs, putting them at a higher risk of re-infection. However, most patients recover with no complications.
Impetigo medication may include:
- Topical mupirocin ointment.
- Oral antibiotics such as cephalosporins, clindamycin and sulfamethoxazole etc.
Allopathic over the counter drugs
An allopathic doctor needs to prescribe antibiotic to treat most forms of impetigo. For minor skin infections that haven’t spread, an allopath can try treating the area with an over-the-counter (OTC) antibiotic cream or ointment that contains bacitracin. Then, place a nonstick bandage over the area to help prevent the infection from spreading.
Taking care of child’s skin can help clear up an impetigo infection faster. Skincare steps one can take to get rid of an impetigo infection quickly include:
- Dab the infected skin with warm soapy water to gently remove crusts.
- Apply the prescribed antibiotic.
- Place a bandage over the infected area. This will help promote healing and prevent the infection from spreading.
Will impetigo go away on its own?
Impetigo may go away on its own in a few weeks. Still, doctors recommend treating it for several reasons:
- To reduce the risk of developing complications.
- To reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others.
- Without treatment, the infection can go deeper into the skin and possibly cause new sores or blisters to develop.
Homeopathic treatment for impetigo
