Dalton Braun & Alex Benthein
====== ===Impetigo is a common skin infection. It is most common in children with unhealthy living styles. This occurs when there is break in skin such as a dog bite, insect bite, human bite or any open skin injuries. Some symptomes include one or more blisters on any part of the body, its usually more than one blister. Adults may get a cold or the flu after getting Impetigo. When blister is popped it can leave an itchy area.===

===To prevent use a clean washcloth and don't share towels with other people at all. A mild infection can be cured with antibacterial cream that is applied straight to the infected area. A severe case can be cured with an antibiotic. Sores of impetigo heal slowly and most of the time they scar. Can spread to other parts of body through scratching and breaking the blisters. Impetigo may also occur on skin where there is no visible break. Impetigo can be caused by not taking care of Staph or Staphylococcus which is basically a step down from actual impetigo.===

===One of the most common form of impetigo is contagiosa impetigo. This type of impetigo usually is on the face, mostly on children. Not on all of the face though most of it is by the mouth and nose. When this type of impetigo is poped a pusy like substance starts oozing from the holes. When it ruptures and dries the substance looks like dried hunny. The sores are extremely itchy but theydo not hurt.===
