Impetigo

If you notice that you have new blisters on your skin, which are bursting and crusting over, then make sure you keep your hands to yourself.

You might be impetigo, which is a skin infection that is most commonly caused by strains of bacteria known as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus.

They can be transmitted in multiple ways: both by skin-to-skin contact, and also from different contaminated items such as clothing, bedding, or towels.

So next time you share one of these items, make sure you don’t get contaminated with one of these bacteria! Once you get it, it’s extremely annoying to get rid of it!
