There can be small spots around the first sores, spreading outwards.The sore usually becomes coated with a tan or yellowish crust, making it look like it has been covered with honey.The blister bursts leaving a patch of red, wet, weepy skin.Impetigo may start with a blister or a group of blisters.The sores can be anywhere on the body, but are often on the face near the mouth and nose, or on the arms and legs.Children with impetigo are very infectious (contagious), but the spread of impetigo can be reduced by practising good hygiene, covering the sores with dressings and keeping your child away from other children until they are no longer infectious. Impetigo is not usually a serious infection, and should clear up a few days after starting medical treatment. The sores may start out as blisters that burst and become weepy, before being covered with a crust. Impetigo causes sores on the skin, which are usually itchy. It is often called school sores because it is common among school children. This will heal to prevent infection.Impetigo ( im-pet-eye-go) is an infection of the skin caused by bacteria. If the blister bursts on its own, allow the fluid to drain, clean the area well, then cover in a dry, sterile bandage until it heals.If it is on your foot, you may want to cover it with a gauze or moleskin pad, which will protect the blister but also allow it to breathe.
If the blister is on your hand or somewhere it will not be exposed to further friction, you can leave it uncovered as the air will help it to heal.This is the best option if the blister is not causing you any pain, as it minimizes the risk of infection. After a couple of days, the body will reabsorb the fluid inside the blister (known as serum) and the blister will disappear. This is because the unbroken skin covering the blister forms a protective shield which prevents infection. The majority of blisters will heal naturally, without the need to be drained. Leave the blister intact if it is not painful.
