What is impetigo caused by?

Answer 1

Well I think you probably know what impetigo is ( if not there's always Wikipedia, kidshealth.org etc), but epidemic means that the infection in this case is a widespread occurrence that may have spread to the whoe of the body rather than a localised area for example on your left shoulder blade

Answer 2

It is a skin complaint and it is contagious. you should never use a towel or anything that comes in contact with the skin of the person who has it or you will catch it. It is simply treated though.
