Impetigo is a bacterial infection that involves the superficial layer of the skin. It occurs commonly in infants and school-going children; therefore, it is also known as school sores in layman terms. This infection can occur on its own or be preceded by another skin infection that breaks the outermost layer of skin. It is a contagious infection and can spread from one person to another by coming in contact with the site of infection. Impetigo is treatable with the use of suitable antibiotics.
