Impetigo: More Than Just a Rash
These painful, pus-filled blisters are a classic sign of impetigo, a highly contagious bacterial skin infection most commonly caused by Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria.
When impetigo becomes widespread, inflamed, or develops multiple pus-filled lesions like these, oral antibiotics may be necessary to help clear the infection and prevent it from spreading further.
⚠️ Signs that warrant prompt evaluation:
• Pus-filled blisters or sores
• Honey-colored crusting
• Rapidly spreading lesions
• Increasing redness, pain, or swelling
• Fever or feeling unwell
Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and speed up healing.
If you notice suspicious sores, don’t ignore them. Schedule an evaluation with Dr. Azar and our team for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
