Impetigo

I am sure sorry to hear about little Vai’s impetigo. As you said, impetigo is a skin infection caused by a certain type of bacteria. Dr. Greene sees it frequently in kids ages 2 to 6. I’m glad your daughter Anya didn’t pick it up, because it can be spread if the infected skin touches a cut or scrape on someone else’s skin.

Most kids need a topical antibiotic ointment to make it go away, but sometimes oral antibiotics are the answer. Sounds like your physician recommended just what Vai needed, and we’re glad he’s feeling better.

    MsGreene:

    Thanks so much for writing and spotting our blog post on Impetigo! I can say now Vai no longer has the infection, but it was quite an experience for us who knows nothing about what Impetigo is before the incident.

    Thanks again for the resourceful site, drgreene.com!
