What Is Infantigo?
6. How Does Infantigo Impact Children?
Infantigo is most common among children between the ages of two and five. Unlike adults, who are most likely to show indications of the infection around the lips and face, children first show symptoms around the legs. Specifically, these bacteria are likely to invade around the diaper area.
Since it can look like common diaper rash at a glance, you’ll want to pay close attention when changing a child and noticing discoloration or redness around the legs and trunk. Children often spread the bacteria around their own bodies at a fast pace by scratching at infected sites.
