Natural Impetigo Treatment: Home Remedies & Healing

Impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial infection that usually affects children. Impetigo causes blisters that break open, releasing a yellow liquid that crusts over. Doctors usually prescribe antibiotics for impetigo, but natural remedies can also be used to help speed up the healing process of impetigo and prevent the impetigo from being passed to others.

Instructions
