Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection primarily caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. It often originates from breaks in the skin, such as cuts, insect bites, or conditions like eczema, which allow bacteria to enter. The infection is highly contagious and commonly affects children, spreading through direct contact or contaminated objects. Poor hygiene and crowded living conditions can also contribute to its prevalence.
