Bullous impetigo rash on an infant's abdomen. Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection caused by Staphylococci or occasionally Streptococci. It is common among children & babies,beginning as a red patch,which develops into small pustules that join together,eventually forming crusty yellow blisters (bullae). Impetigo is especially contagious,spreading rapidly on contact & by shared towels & face cloths. It usually responds to treatment with topical antibiotics within seven to ten days. Impetigo of the newborn is rare today | |
