Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What Causes Impetigo? Kids can be more likely to develop impetigo when their skin is already irritated by another problem, such as eczema, poison ivy, insect bites, and cuts or scrapes. Scratching a sore or a rash is a common cause-for example, poison ivy can get infected and turn into impetigo.
