I am nearly six weeks pregnant and have developed impetigo on my face (really horrible scabby patch that is spreading). Went to the doctor this morning and now have treatment so hopefully it will go away but he was quite surprised to find this in someone of my age. I am convinced it must be pregnancy related - something to do with the suppression of the immune system??? Has anyone else had this or know anyone who has. Would be interested to hear any similar stories

My doctor thinks we are too clean these days...he has seen more cases of impetigo in the last year than he has in 10 years, apparently.

Hope it clears up quickly
