Impetigo Impetigo mainly affects the face, especially around the nose and mouth and on the hands. Impetigo is mostly associated with children & adolescents but it can also affect adults in the genital area. It is a common but highly contagious bacterial skin infection. It is caused by either streptococcus A or staphylococcus aurous. Streptococcus A usually produces redness, blisters or sores and forms a yellowish brown crust. Staphylococcus aurous tends to trigger larger fluid- filled blisters that don't usually burst. The disease is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people. Atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is often referred to as eczema. But eczema has broader meaning than atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is not contagious. Several people of the same family are often affected ATP. Exact causes of atopic dermatitis are not exactly known and consist in a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors.
