Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection primarily affecting the outer layer of the skin, commonly around the face and limbs. It is caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. While impetigo itself does not occur in the throat, the bacteria that cause impetigo can lead to other infections, such as strep throat. If you suspect throat symptoms alongside skin lesions, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
