Impetigo

Impetigo is a superficial skin infection most common among children age 2–6 years. People who play close contact sports such as rugby, American football and wrestling are also susceptible, regardless of age. The name derives from the Latin impetere . It is also known as school sores. (From the Wikpedia article Impetigo.)
