This is a bacterial infection that causes rapidly spreading sired with shiny, yellow crusts. It often occurs on children's faces, especially around the mouth.
Impetigo can spread easily to other people from the sores or contaminated fingers.
Treatment:
- Wash the affected part with soap and boiled water, gently soaking off the crusts.
As I have said; make sure you wash the hands and bath frequently with soap and water help prevent many infections, both of the skin and of the gut. Wounds should be carefully washed with soap and boiled water before they are closed or bandaged.
Prevention:
- Follow the guidelines of personal cleanliness. Bathe children daily and protect them bedbugs and biting flies. If a child gets scabies, treat him as soon ad possible.
- Do not let a child with impetigo sleep or play with other children. Begin treatment at the first sign.
