What is Impetigo in Children: Guide & Treatment about?

Impetigo is a common bacterial skin infection in children caused by Staphylococcus aureus or streptococci. It presents as thin-walled vesicles or bullae that rupture, forming crusts. It is typically classified as impetigo contagiosa or bullous impetigo. Treatment involves topical or oral antibiotics depending on severity. Complications can include toxic shock syndrome, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis or pneumonia, but these are usually limited to immune compromised children.
