Non-bullous impetigo is the more contagious form of the condition causing sores that burst leaving a yellow-brown crust.If the impetigo affects an otherwise healthy area of skin, it is called primary impetigo.Impetigo resulting from another skin condition is called secondary impetigo.on-bullous impetigo is the more contagious form of the condition causing sores that burst leaving a yellow-brown crust.
