What is Impetigo?
Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection that affects both children and adults. The primary impetigo causes include Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. Impetigo on the face is common, especially around the nose and mouth, but it can appear on other areas of the body.
Impetigo Symptoms
Recognising the early stages of impetigo helps in prompt treatment. Common symptoms include:
- Red sores that burst, releasing fluid before forming a yellow-brown crust.
- An itchy impetigo rash, often causing discomfort.
- Fluid-filled blisters that may spread to other areas of the body.
- Soreness, irritation, and tenderness of impetigo skin.
Home Treatment for Impetigo
While impetigo treatment often requires professional care, you can try home remedies to manage mild cases:
- Keep the Area Clean: Gently wash impetigo skin with soap and water.
- Avoid Scratching: Trim nails and discourage touching the affected areas to prevent further infection.
- Cover the Sores: Use gauze or bandages to reduce the risk of spreading the impetigo infection.
- Topical Antibiotics: Over-the-counter antibiotic creams may help with mild cases of impetigo.

Benefits of the Flu Vaccine
The flu is more than just a cold. Even people who are young and fit can become seriously ill from the flu. For older people and those with long-term health conditions, the flu can be very dangerous. That’s why it is recommended that everyone aged 2 and older get the flu jab if they are safe to do so.
The flu is a respiratory virus that can last for weeks and can’t be treated with antibiotics. Most people who get it will feel better within a week or so without any problems, but others may develop more serious complications like pneumonia and cardiac conditions.
