Hi Dear.
Welcome to the platform of Health care Magic.
Impetigo is a skin infection by a bacteria callled streptococus /staphlococcus.
It is contageous, can spread to other person just by simply contact with the infected part.
Better to avoid contact.
But it responds very fast to particular type of gram postive sensitive Antibiotic .
Please consult dermatologist to get the proper treatment and total eradication of the disease.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
