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.
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.
Treating impetigo. Impetigo is not usually serious and usually clears up without treatment after two to three weeks. But treatment can help clear up the infection more quickly (usually in around seven to 10 days) and can reduce the risk of the infection being passed on to others.
