Impetigo is a skin infection that commonly occurs in young children. More than 90% of cases are caused by staphylococcus, so maintaining personal hygiene and living environment is essential to prevent the spread of impetigo.

Impetigo in children often starts with small blisters on the skin and then slowly spreads to the entire body. This disease seems simple, but if not diagnosed correctly and treated promptly, it can easily develop into a skin infection, affecting the health and development of the child.

Impetigo is a common superficial bacterial infection of the skin, characterised by vesicles that rapidly become purulent and then rupture, leaving shallow erosions and honey-coloured crusts. The term impetiginisation is used to describe superficial secondary infections of a wound or skin condition. When the lesion ulcerates deeply it is called impetigo.
