Overview
Impetigo is often associated with insect bites, cuts, and other forms of trauma to the skin.Humidity, obesity, corticosteroid use, chemotherapy, dysglobulinemias, leukemias and malnutrition are some other risk factors for impetigo.[1] Handwashing decreseas the incidence of impetigo by 34%.[2]
