Signs and symptoms. Contagious impetigo. This most common form of impetigo, also called nonbullous impetigo, most often begins as a red sore near the nose or mouth which soon breaks, leaking pus or fluid, and forms a honey-colored scab, followed by a red mark which heals without leaving a scar.
Impetigo is rarely serious, but in some cases the infection can spread to other areas of the body and cause problems such as cellulitis and scarlet fever. In very rare cases, impetigo may lead to some scarring, particularly if you scratch at the blisters, crusts or sores.
