3. Impetigo
Impetigo is another kind of skin infection that is more common than MRSA but could be brought about by the stronger infection. It’s usually caused by what we commonly know as strep or Group A Streptococcus. This is a bacterium that’s usually manifested on our skin or inside our throats, hence the term ‘strep throat’.
Impetigo is not necessary whenever this bacteria is present, but it may develop especially when there’s another underlying issue; in this case, MRSA.
The impetigo infection is usually characterized by small red sores or spots appearing on the body. The most common areas for this are the face, mouth, and nose.
However, other body areas are not immune to these symptoms. These sores may not e painful, but they can cause itching and irritation. They would eventually become blisters and ooze out fluid, becoming infectious for people who come into contact with the carrier.
