Risk factors of Impetigo

Diagnosing impetigo is relatively easy, though in some cases other conditions may give you a similar feel, such as ringworm and mites. Keep in mind that every blister cannot be treated as an infection. Often, other sorts of skin diseases develop blister-like skin inflammation. Examples in this regard are herpes cold sores, chickenpox and poison ivy. Take the advice of your health care provider in deciding whether to use antibacterial creams or not.
