👉 Academic pimples, also known as impetigo, are a type of skin infection often associated with high school and college students. They typically manifest as small, red, itchy bumps or pimples that can quickly spread and form blisters. These lesions are usually caused by a combination of bacteria, most commonly Staphylococcus aureus, and can be exacerbated by cuts or abrasions that allow bacteria to enter the skin. The infection often spreads through direct contact with an infected area or contaminated objects, and while generally not serious, it can be contagious and requires prompt treatment with antibiotics to prevent complications.
