Can Impetigo harm an unborn baby?
Impetigo is a 'contagious' disease. That means it is spread by direct physical contact. If you don't touch anyone who has it you shouldn't get the infection. It is quite rare for an adult to get impetigo. This is partly because it is usually caused by the most common bacteria which are present on the skin, and adults usually have more resistance. Being pregnant does not create an extra risk. The bacteria which cause the disease are not likely to cause any harm to an unborn child if there is only an infection on the skin. The disease is often treatable with antibiotic cream, but sometimes the patient also needs to take an antibiotic by mouth. If you did catch the infection, then as long as the doctor knows that you are pregnant, you could, if required, be prescribed antibiotic that is safe to use in pregnancy.

How long is impetigo contagious?
Impetigo is a skin condition caused by the staph or strep bacteria. Antibiotics are usually necessary to clear this up but improvement can be seen within a few days after beginning the medication. Please consult a health care professional as I'm sure you must be feeling very uncomfortable. Impetigo is very contagious. Anything that touches the sores has a possibility of transferring the infection to either another person or another part of the body. Children who have impetigo should be carefully monitored to prevent spread of the infection since they are more likely to scratch and be in close contact with others. Usually after 48 hours of an antibiotic treatment it is no longer contagious and a child who has impetigo can go to school (you should ask your doctor this may differ with medication).

How long can lymph nodes stay swollen?
When someone has an infection in the general area of a lymph node (such as in the scalp.. the nodes being in the neck) or when you have a viral infection (like "mono") the lymph nodes don't just swell... the actually grow in size to better filter/fight the infection/virus. Once the infection/virus is gone, the nodes shrink down somewhat, but never shrink to the size they were prior to the infection/virus. You're left with a firm knot... I've got several small firm nodes from when I was a child (60+ years ago)...
