Impetigo (im-pe-TIE-go) is an infection of the skin. It can be spread to many parts of the body and to other people. It first appears as a discolored pimple. Small blisters may form and quickly break, leaving "weeping" sores and yellow crusts. The skin around the crusts is red.
To keep impetigo from spreading, follow these instructions carefully three times a day.
