Answer |
Impetigo is a bacterial infection of the skin. It may present as a single boil or multiple boils which on scratching oozes and forms a crust. The treatment consists of antibacterial cream and oral antibiotics if too extensive. One must not touch the area with bare hands as it may spread and transmit. Always wear gloves while applying the cream. |
