About impetigo
Contagious bacteria cause impetigo, which shows up as sores with golden crusts, especially on the face and hands of children.

Symptoms of impetigo
- Swollen glands in some cases
- Red sores that burst and form golden-yellow crusts
- Itching
- Small blisters in some cases
- Sores around the nose and mouth
