What is Impetigo?

Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection. It can appear anywhere on the body but usually attacks exposed areas. Children tend to get it on the face, especially around the nose and mouth, and sometimes on the arms or legs. The infected areas appear in patches ranging from dime to quarter size, starting as tiny blisters that break and expose moist, red skin. After a few days the infected area is covered with a grainy, golden crust that gradually spreads at the edges.

In extreme cases, the infection invades a deeper layer of skin and develops into ecthyma, an ulcerated form of the disease. Ecthyma forms small, pus-filled ulcers with a crust much darker and thicker than that of ordinary impetigo. Ecthyma can be very itchy, and scratching the irritated area spreads the infection quickly. Left untreated, the ulcers may cause permanent scars and pigment changes.

The gravest potential complication of impetigo is glomerulonephritis, a severe kidney disease that occurs in about 1% of cases, mainly in children.

The most common cause of impetigo is Staphylococcus aureus. Beta hemolytic streptococcus is another bacteria that causes it. These bacteria lurk everywhere -- in unclean bathrooms, in spoiled food, and in our own bodies. If a child with an open wound or fresh scratch bathes in an unscrubbed basin or tub, for example, he may contract impetigo. Using a towel or even a bar of soap previously used by a person infected with impetigo can spread the infection. Other skin-related problems, such as body lice, insect bites, fungal or strep infections, boils, or various forms of dermatitis, can make a person susceptible to impetigo.

Impetigo that is caused by staphylococcus may cause larger blisters containing fluid that is first clear, then cloudy. These blisters are more likely to stay intact longer on the skin without bursting.

Impetigo is not only contagious from person to person but infection can be spread from one area of skin to another on the same person. Children can spread impetigo on their body when they touch themselves with fingers that have been in contact with scratched or infected skin. When a family member has impetigo, the infection can spread to other household members on clothing, towels, and bed linens that have touched the person's infected skin. Impetigo is also spread among playmates or classmates who come in contact with infected skin. It is quite a common complaint, and if one child in the school has impetigo, you can be sure that others will as well.

A child with impetigo may return to school when the infection is not contagious. This usually is about 48-72 hours after treatment is started.

The biggest issue in treating impetigo is to focus on is preventing impetigo from spreading. For instance, when your child has a runny nose, keep the area between the upper lip and nose clean.

What Are the Symptoms?

A small patch of blisters that after a few hours breaks into a red, moist area that oozes or weeps fluid; appears mainly on the face, but also on exposed areas of the arms and legs. In a few days, formation of a golden or dark-yellow crust resembling grains of brown sugar. The infection may continue to spread at the edges of the affected area.

How Is It Treated?

The key to treating and preventing impetigo is good personal hygiene and a clean environment. Once the infection occurs, prompt attention will keep it under control and prevent its spread.

Even if only one family member has impetigo, everyone in the household should follow the same sanitary regimen. Regular washing with soap and water can clear up mild forms. If the sores don't clear up in 48 hours, or if the infected person is a small child, see a doctor. To break the chain of contagion, the doctor may prescribe antibacterial baths for the entire household as well as for the infected patient.

Impetigo is often treated with prescription creams and ointments containing corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone often prescribed to reduce inflammation or strong antibiotics. For severe cases, your doctor may prescribe oral corticosteroids. In addition, if the affected area becomes severely infected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to kill the infection-causing bacteria.

A product such as Dermisil for Impetigo can safely remove the impetigo infection without the use of steroids or antibiotics. Dermisil for Impetigo is far more affordable than a trip to the doctor and expensive prescription medications and far more convenient as it will be delivered right to your door!
