We must be wary of impetigo, a highly contagious skin disease that can cause great discomfort or worse but is highly preventable. Impetigo are infected spots that appear as blisters or small bumps ranging from size. The skin underneath these blisters and small bumps is red and tender and oozes a clear liquid.
