Impetigo

Smallpox can look a bit like chickenpox. It is most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It is relatively contagious, but usually not serious and tends to go away on its own within a week or two.

Look for yellowish sores with crusting. They can form blisters, get wet, and itchy.

Treatment of impetigo

In some cases, antibiotics may be necessary, but usually, they are not required. However, it is recommended to keep the child home from school until the sores have healed.

In addition, it is important to keep the sores clean and disinfect items such as clothes and countertops. It is also advisable to wash hands regularly and use hand sanitiser.
