Impetigo π¦ is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection that often affects children but can occur in adults too. Itβs usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria, which enter the skin through cuts, insect bites, or other minor injuries. π§ Poor hygiene, warm and humid weather, and close contact with infected individuals can increase the risk. πΆπ§΄ Prevention starts with maintaining good hygiene β wash hands regularly, keep nails short and clean, and avoid sharing towels, clothes, or razors. πΏβ¨ If you notice red sores or honey-colored crusts on the skin, consult your dermatologist promptly for early treatment and to prevent spreading. π©ββοΈπ
