I have just seen my doctor who told me that I have impetigo caused by sunburn. I know that impetigo is contagious. Is this still the case when it's caused by sunburn?

Hello! Impetigo is a bacterial infection. It cannot be caused by sunburn. It can spread through contact and nasal carriage of bacteria.
