What Is Impetigo?
4. Adults And Toddlers
Both adults and children can get impetigo, but it is more common in children. The symptoms will vary between the two groups, however. The rash caused by the condition will look a little different, and children will often have sores on other parts of the body in addition to the nose and mouth, which is where sores are usually found in adults.
Complications are unlikely in both groups, but they are more likely to occur in adults. In children, the condition is usually caused by excessive itching. In adults, it is most common among those that take part in contact sports.
