Similar to chickenpox, impetigo commonly occurs in children than in adults. However, that does not mean adults are not susceptible to the skin condition. The red sores associated with impetigo are caused by bacteria. They usually show up on the mouth, nose, hands, or diaper area, and they can easily be spread through other parts of the body. The red sores will eventually burst and crust over.
Since impetigo is highly contagious, patients with the condition are highly encouraged to avoid contact with others and to avoid scratching any infected areas to reduce the risk of spreading. Although it is rare for other complications to occur as a result of impetigo, patients with the condition should seek treatment immediately for relief. Fortunately, EZCare Clinic practitioners can assess and treat patients with impetigo with antibiotic creams or medications. |
