Contagious cross infection

Contagious Cross infection 





 Impetigo.  this highly contagious skin condition often follows a recent upper respiratory infection. Impetigo begins as itchy, red sores that blister and eventually becomes covered with a tight crust, impetigo can easily be spread from one area of the body to another area through direct contact with sores and discharge on the skin. In most cases, impetigo can be treated with a prescription antibacterial cream, while more severe cases may require oral antibiotics. Although the sores of impetigo tend to heal slowly, they seldom scar.
