HI and thanks for posting. Impetigo refers to a skin infectious that is potentially infectious. From the pictures you submitted, I am not seeing any blisters or sores on the skin. I do see comedones, however, which are blackheads or clogged pores. Cleansing wipes or antimicrobial shampoos can help. I like the ones mades by Douxo. However, blisters and sores certainly indicate a skin infection which may need antibiotics from your vet to help with.
