An infectious skin disease caused by a germ - the staphylococcus. It usually attacks the face and scalp and is common in children.
A small area of the skin becomes itchy and inflamed - often near the corner of the mouth - and then begins to weep and form
yellowish crusts. If not treated it rends to spread rapidly. Because of this, suspected cases of impetigo are best taken to doctor as
early as possible. It responds to antibiotics. The area affected must be kept dry, and efforts made to prevent the patient scratch-
ing for this is one of the chief factors spreading the infection. Bed linen, pillows, handkerchiefs and washing materials should be
kept strictly separate, and they should be well boiled before being returned to general use.
