Impetigo is a highly-contagious bacterial skin infection. It is very itchy and is characterised by a honey-coloured crust over an area of pustular, infected skin.
To avoid spread of Impetigo within the family, it is very important to impose strict hygiene measures, keeping all clothes, towels, flannels and bedding separate and boil washing them daily during the treatment period.
Please speak to your herbalist regarding the use of herbs with impetigo.
