Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection, commonly affecting children, though it can occur in people of all ages. It is characterized by red sores or blisters that can rupture, ooze, and form a yellowish crust. The infection is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection and prevent its spread.
