Impetigo is a common bacterial infection of the skin that affects superficial layers of the epidermis. It is common in young children, and in fact is considered the most common bacterial skin infection in the pediatric age group. Skin lesions in impetigo appear primarily as itchy erythematous plaques, often with yellow crusts. These lesions are mainly located on the face, neck and hands (Figure 1). The infection is deemed highly contagious. It is further classified into two broad groups, non-bullous and bullous impetigo. Non-bullous impetigo initially presents with vesicles or pustules mainly on the face or extremities, which coalesce and eventually rupture with purulent exudate and formation of classical honey-colored crusts.Bullous impetigo presents as fragile, thin roofed flaccid bullae. Composed initially of clear fluid which later turns dark, these bullae upon rupture lead to an erythematous base with a rim of scale.
