Impetigo

Walt: study skin infections.

Impetigo is one of the skin infections. Impetigo is caused by one or two bacteria staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. Impetigo could also cause strep throat. Also impetigo will show up on your mouth, legs, arms and everywhere else. Children that are at a young age could catch it if they have been cut, scratched or if they have grazed their knee. It wouldn't be nice if one of the children get it and come to school because the person that has it could pass it on to their friends and family that are young. That’s why we always advise you to wash your hands every time you finish playing. You could identify impetigo because it is yellow and pusy.
