Impetigo
Impetigo is a contagious skin infection that starts with red sores or blisters which burst and leave crusty golden-brown patches. It is more common in young children but anyone can get it.
Key points
- With treatment, impetigo often clears in a few days, and it is not usually serious.
- The sores may be harder to see on brown and black skin, so the crusty patches are often the first sign.
