The objectives of the two types of research and their underlying philosophical assumptions are simply different. However, as discussed in the section on âphilosophies guiding researchâ, this does not mean that the two approaches cannot be used in the same study.
Impetigo is a skin infection, caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, or both, that leads to the formation of scabby, yellow-crusted sores and, sometimes, small blisters filled with yellow fluid. Ecthyma is a form of impetigo that causes sores deeper in the skin. Impetigo is common. It affects mostly children. Impetigo can occur anywhere on the body but most commonly occurs on the face, arms, and legs. The blisters that may form (bullous impetigo) vary in size and can last for days to weeks.
To Prevent the Spread of Impetigo. 1  Every time your child touches the impetigo and then scratches another part of the skin or touches another person, a new area of impetigo can get started.  To stop the spread of impetigo, tell your child not to touch or pick at the sores.
