What Is Infantigo?
8. Can the Spread of Infantigo Be Prevented?
Infantigo is highly contagious. When a person reaches the stage of the infection where sores have blistered and opened, it is at its most contagious point. Children and adults who have been diagnosed with this infection need to remain at home and avoid all physical contact with others until the wounds have healed.
Once the infection clears from treatment and time, a normal routine can be resumed. Additional steps may be required depending on the severity of the infection, but isolation is always the best way to limit the spread of this infection.
