About Impetigo
Impetigo is a skin infection that's very contagious but not usually serious. It often gets better in 7 to 10 days if you get treatment. Anyone can get it, but it's very common in young children.
Impetigo starts with red sores or blisters, but the redness may be harder to see in brown and black skin. The sores or blisters quickly burst and leave crusty, golden-brown patches.
The patches can:
- Look a bit like corn flakes stuck to your skin.
- Get bigger.
- Spread to other parts of your body.
- Be itchy.
- Sometimes be painful.

I recently contacted Forest Pharmacy just before closing time to request essential medication for my wife. We were on holiday, a long way from home, and I had forgotten to bring the medication with us. The pharmacist concerned, Mr Saini, and his wife went to great trouble out-of-hours to provide the medication needed and I am deeply grateful to them for their kindness and professionalism. It was exceptional service of the highest order!
