Overview

The diagnosis of impetigo is mostly clinical. A thorough physical examination plays an important role in the diagnosis of impetigo.^[1]

The follwoing findings on physical examination may suggest impetigo:^[1]

Bullous impetigo
- Fluid filled bullae
- Bullae are flaccid and a thin brown crust is visible after they rupture
- Bullous impetigo can usualy be seen on the trunk
Non-bullous impetigo
- Papules
- Pustules
- Vesicles
