Impetigo is a skin infection that's very contagious but not usually serious. It often gets better in 7 to 10 days if you get treatment. Anyone can get it, but it's very common in young children.
- Impetigo starts with red sores or blisters.
- The sores or blisters quickly burst and leave crusty, golden-brown patches.
- If appropriate the Pharmacist can supply antibiotics for this condition after clinical assessment.
