What causes impetigo in children? This is what happened

The main reason for impetigo in children is bacterial infection, which leads to corresponding diseases. Children who live in an environment with high humidity and temperature for a long time are especially prone to this disease. There are many other factors besides this.

1. How is impetigo caused?

Impetigo is often caused by infection with staphylococcus aureus, which is positive for coagulase, but may also be caused by beta-hemolytic streptococci. This disease can cause disease by single infection or mixed infection. The occurrence of impetigo is also related to factors such as high temperature, high humidity, and skin immersion.

In certain external environments, such as high temperature, excessive sweating and immersion of the skin, bacteria can easily multiply on the skin. When suffering from itchy skin diseases such as prickly heat, insect bites, dermatitis and eczema, the barrier function of the skin can be destroyed, making it easy for pathogens to invade and cause impetigo.

Generally speaking, the best treatment for impetigo is to use topical medications to clean the affected area or take oral medications. However, it should be noted that since the disease is highly contagious, clothes used by patients need to be disinfected and exposed to the sun in a timely manner to avoid reinfection.
