Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection that causes sores, blisters, and crusty patches, often around the nose and mouth. Applying makeup over it would:
* Spread the infection: Makeup brushes, sponges, and even your fingers could easily transfer the bacteria to other areas of your face or to other people.
* Worsen the infection: Makeup can trap moisture and create a breeding ground for bacteria, potentially making the impetigo worse and hindering healing.
* Contaminate your makeup: The bacteria could contaminate your makeup products, making them a source of future infection.
It's important to seek medical treatment for impetigo and avoid applying makeup until the infection has completely cleared.
