Top Tips to Prevent Impetigo Spread
Maintain good hygiene to stop reinfection. Wash hands frequently, especially after touching lesions. Keep fingernails short and clean.
Avoid sharing towels, bedding or clothing until the infection clears. Launder items daily in hot water.
Cover lesions with a clean dressing until healed. Change dressings daily and dispose of used dressings safely.
