Treatment Options For Impetigo

Use New Towels For Each Shower

Since impetigo is highly contagious, it is vital to use new towels for each shower. Also, body towels and face towels should be kept separate and washed each day. Since impetigo is highly contagious, it can be spread from one area of the body to another after touching an infected part. Furthermore, the impetigo infection can spread to other members of the household through used towels, bed sheets, or any clothing that has been in contact with the infected individual. Therefore, as a preventative measure, it is important to remember to wash all clothes, linens, and towels of the infected person daily.
