yes. impetigo is a common skin infection that can occur again in the same spot or different spot. this is not the same infection but a new one. the germs that cause impetigo live on our skin surfaces (staph strep) so any disruption in the skin (a scratch insect bite burn scrape etc. can lead to impetigo.
i'm an adult and was told i had impetigo a few months back. can it come back in the same spot months later?
