Overview
If left untreated, most cases of non-bullous impetigo resolve within 1-2 weeks. The complications of impetigo include poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis and rheumatic fever.[1][2][3][4][5]
Natural History
If left untreated, most cases of non-bullous impetigo resolve within 1-2 weeks. In case of bullous impetigo being left untreated the infection may lead to cellulitis or poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis or rheumatic fever. [5][6]
Complications
The complications of impetigo include:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Prognosis
The prognosis of non-bullous impetigo is very good.
