what is impetigo

About a couple weeks ago i was diagnosed with impetigo on my forehead, arm, and neck. It seems that it healed but it left round white spots. It is quite embarrassing. I am wondering if impetigo does leave white marks and if so, how long does it last?

A few years ago my friend gave me impetigo and since then I seem to get sores at the side of my mouth really badly every now and then. I have it at the moment and it completely knocks my confidence. I also had it when I met my best friend for the first time (we met online) and I felt really self-concious. It's awful. I've had it for a few weeks now and It's just not going. And I don't know what to do?!
I'm starting a new school in September so I want to have my confidence back.
Just so you know, I wash my face daily, and our house is very clean.

Could it be impetigo or just a cold sore? It's big for a cold sore... but small for impetigo. So I'm not sure.

And how can I make it go away and not keep coming back? I find myself often covering my mouth. Ugh.

Thanks.

I have had impetigo on my nose for like a month now. I went to the doctor and got cream and it went away on one side and spread to the other. I put the cream on all the time and it just stays there. What can I do to get it to go away in a couple days. I dont want it anymore!!! it is embarrassing
