Questions about Impetigo?

I’m 99% positive that i have impetigo, and i’m going to a doctor to conform it. i have NO CLUE as to how i got it, since i have good hygiene and everything. Anyways, i’d like to ask a few questions about it. If it’s treated in the first few days that it appears (like, when it’s already ugly) how long does it take for it to go away? does it easily come back? does it spread to other parts easily? HELP?! I’ve read a few descriptions on it, and i’m pretty creeped.

    First things first, relax! I had this when I was in grade 9 or 10, and I was just as scared as you sound. I thought I had skin cancer, and my face was covered! It seemed like everytime I looked in the mirror I had a new spot. The doctor told me that I could have gotten it from a park that I went to with some kids I was watching… I was given anti fungal cream, and it cleared up within a few days. It is extremely contagious! However I only had it on my face, and if I accidentally touched a sore, I made sure I washed my hands asap!
    Also, change you pillow, and face towel each time until you get the cream.
    Good Luck :)
