The common symptoms of this infection are itchiness in the affected area, burning sensation, fever, rashes on the skin and irritability. Also one experiences pain in arms and legs and skin lesions with crusts.

The bacteria can enter the body through any breakage in the skin and once the infection is caused, it spreads to different parts of the body. Hence it becomes very important to have proper knowledge about this infection and also cure it as early as possible.
Primary step towards preventing the spread of impetigo is in maintaining good hygiene. People suffering from the same should use medicated soaps and take bath regularly.
