Impetigo Posted: 01-24-04 18:44pm
In answer to the question of is it common
to get impetigo several times a year. I
believe that it is if you do not treat it
properly ot get reinfected. I am
currently recovering from my second bout
with this skin disorder and I thought I
had something else..An insect bite
reaction the doctor said. However, when
I went to a specialist he said I had
impetigo and it was almost the same as the
first one I had a month previous.
Impetigo is a bacteria and is spread
primarily from being exposed to the
bacteria via an exposed skin or cut. It
can be prevented from being contagious by
not touching it while infected and from
washing and keeping clean while treating
it, as far as I know. Ron
