Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection that has likely affected humans for centuries. Because it is a common and ancient condition, there is no recorded individual who can be definitively identified as the "first" person to have had impetigo. The disease is caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, which have been present in humans throughout history. Thus, it is impossible to pinpoint an origin or first case.
