Impetigo Vulgar

The name of the disease **"impetigo vulgar"** comes from Lat. impetigo, meaning "to scratch" or "to scratch". This term began to be most often used in medicine after the Whooping Cough (whooping cough) and impotence pandemic, when doctors increasingly began to use the name impetida to refer to skin diseases and allergies that provoke the appearance of various dermatitis, including this type. Impetigo is an acute disease that spreads throughout all epidermal layers. In most cases, it is superficial and spreads locally, without spreading to other parts of the body. This type of disease affects both middle-aged people and children and adolescents. Those parts of the skin that are subject to constant friction are predominantly affected.

**Impetigo vulgrum** or **Bulkley's disease** is an acute superficial pustular infection of the skin that is caused by various types of bacteria. The main symptoms are pustules on the skin in the form of discs, plaques or blisters, accompanied by severe pain, swelling and redness around the site of infection. The causative agent of the disease is Staphylococcus aureus, staphylococci, less commonly streptococci and other bacteria. Treatment for impetigo should be prescribed by a doctor based on diagnosis. Impetigine infection is dangerous for children due to the rapid development of complications, so it is very important to start treatment on time. If you experience Bulkley's disease, do not delay contacting your doctor; if symptoms occur, you must begin treatment immediately.
