Patient's question:
The child was just born and developed several pustules on their body. The hospital diagnosed it as congenital neonatal impetigo. I want to ask if the hospital's diagnosis of congenital neonatal impetigo is accurate?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal impetigo is very common, and its qualitative results are usually relatively accurate. Since neonatal impetigo is caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and is highly contagious, it is necessary to isolate the infant first. Parents should surprise and disinfect the infant's clothes. When the infant develops blisters, it is necessary to take the infant to the hospital promptly for examination to determine if it is neonatal impetigo. Neonatal exfoliative dermatitis and neonatal impetigo have similar symptoms and should not be confused.
