Collection: Impetigo
What is Impetigo?
Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection that causes red sores, blisters, and yellowish crusts, commonly affecting the face, hands, and body. It is caused by Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria and spreads through skin-to-skin contact, contaminated surfaces, or scratching. While impetigo is more common in children, it can affect people of all ages.
Managing impetigo naturally involves supporting immune function, reducing bacterial overgrowth, and promoting skin healing to prevent the spread of infection.

Natural Ways to Treat & Prevent Impetigo

- Stay Hydrated – Drinking plenty of water helps the body flush out toxins and support skin regeneration.
Important Note
While natural remedies can help reduce infection and promote healing, impetigo is highly contagious and may require medical treatment if symptoms worsen. If the infection spreads rapidly, causes fever, or does not improve with home care, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation
