Impetigo Foxa

Fox impetigo is a type of streptococcal impetigo caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. It is an acute contagious skin disease that manifests itself as blisters and crusted erosions.

Fox impetigo most often occurs in children aged 2 to 5 years. The disease is transmitted by contact and easily spreads in children's groups in the absence of proper sanitary and hygienic conditions.

To treat fox impetigo, antibiotics are used, most often penicillin. It is also important to treat affected areas of the skin with antiseptics and remove crusts in a timely manner. If you follow all the doctor’s recommendations, the disease usually goes away without complications in 1-2 weeks.
