Impetigo is a common, contagious bacterial skin infection that causes honey-colored crusts or small oozing sores, often around the nose and mouth. Limited impetigo in an otherwise-well adult is frequently a good online-photo condition. Widespread or blistering disease, surrounding cellulitis, fever, or involvement near the eye needs in-person care.

How is impetigo treated?

Limited impetigo is usually treated with a prescription antibiotic cream (mupirocin). More extensive impetigo may need a short course of oral antibiotics. Gentle hygiene and not sharing towels help it clear and prevent spread.

When does impetigo need in-person care?

Widespread sores, large blisters (bullous impetigo), spreading redness with fever (possible cellulitis), sores near the eye, or a weakened immune system need in-person evaluation.

Is it contagious?

Yes. Impetigo spreads by contact. Wash hands, don't share towels or razors, and keep sores covered until they heal.
