Symptoms

• Sores smaller than 1 inch in diameter
• Often covered by a soft, yellow-brown scab or crust
• Scabs may intermittently drain pus
• Begin as small red bumps which rapidly change to cloudy blisters, then pimples, and finally open sores which weep
• Increases in size (any sore or wound that grows and doesn't heal is usually impetigo)
• Impetigo often spreads and increases in number from scratching
