Impetigo, or “school sores” as it is called in some places because of its high occurrence in school children, is an annoying skin infection that can make you miserable for a few weeks while you have it.
The word, “impetigo,” comes from a Latin word which means “attack” and that is exactly what it does; it attacks your skin forming red bumps that are painful and itchy and lasts up to 3 weeks. Can you imagine dealing with that misery for three weeks?
