I think impetigo is more contagious too, at least once it starts oozing. In grade school I had to be sent home for impetigo but they didn't care if I had a cold sore as long as I wasn't kissing anyone haha


@Blueberrybook wow that is a GREAT rose!
Oh no his look crusty but it's just under his mouth! When I took him to the gp 2 weeks ago thinking it was impetigo she said no it's just cold sores! Now I'm confused lol
