  Impetigo includes blisters, rashes and other skin wounds (lesions). The condition includes the following characteristics: […] Typically, symptoms of impetigo develop within three days once the bacteria infect your child’s skin. Impetigo on the face starts around the mouth and nose. However, impetigo on the scalp or hairline can also occur. […] The stages typically include: Painful blisters form on your child’s skin that turn into deep, open sores. Thick crusts develop on your child’s skin, and redness often appears near the surrounding skin. After your child’s skin heals, scars may form because the infection went deeper into their skin.

  Impetigo is a common and infectious bacterial infection of the skin. It is most common in young children between 2 and 5 years old. However, adults can also develop impetigo. Impetigo occurs due to infection by the Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria. These bacteria are naturally present on your skin. However, sometimes they can enter the upper layers of your skin through a cut, scratch, or rash. In some cases, you can still develop impetigo even if you don’t have a visible break in your skin. Impetigo can develop anywhere on the body. However, you are more likely to develop impetigo on exposed areas such as your nose, mouth, arms, and legs. Talk with your medical professional if you have an itchy rash with blisters, blisters that leak a yellowish fluid or pus, red skin around the blisters, or swelling. If you experience difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, or high fever, seek immediate medical care (call 911).

[…] The sores quickly burst leaving behind thick, golden crusts typically around 2cm across. The appearance of these crusts is sometimes likened to cornflakes stuck to the skin. […] After the crusts dry, they leave a red mark that usually fades without scarring. The time it takes for the redness to disappear can vary between a few days and a few weeks. […] The sores aren’t painful, but they may be itchy. It’s important not to touch or scratch the sores because this can spread the infection to other parts of the body, and to other people.

  Impetigo (im-puh-TIE-go) is a common and highly contagious skin infection that mainly affects infants and young children. It usually appears as reddish sores on the face, especially around the nose and mouth and on the hands and feet. Over about a week, the sores burst and develop honey-colored crusts. […] The main symptom of impetigo is reddish sores, often around the nose and mouth. The sores quickly rupture, ooze for a few days and then form a honey-colored crust. Sores can spread to other areas of the body through touch, clothing and towels. Itching and soreness are generally mild. […] A less common form of the condition called bullous impetigo causes larger blisters on the trunk of infants and young children. Ecthyma is a serious form of impetigo that causes painful fluid- or pus-filled sores. […] Bullous impetigo causes fluid-filled blisters often on the trunk, arms and legs of infants and children younger than 2 years. […] A more serious form of impetigo, called ecthyma, penetrates deeper into the skin causing painful fluid- or pus-filled sores that turn into deep ulcers.

  Impetigo may affect skin anywhere on the body, but is most common around the nose and mouth, hands, and forearms, and in young children, the diaper area. […] Non-bullous or crusted impetigo is most common. It begins as tiny blisters that eventually burst and leave small wet patches of red skin that may weep fluid. Gradually, a yellowish-brown or tan crust covers the area, making it look like it has been coated with honey or brown sugar. […] Bullous impetigo causes larger fluid-containing blisters that look clear, then cloudy. These blisters are more likely to stay longer on the skin without bursting. […] Ecthyma impetigo looks like „punched out” ulcers with yellow crust and red edges. […] After antibiotic treatment begins, healing should start within a few days. It’s important to make sure that your child takes the medicine as prescribed. Otherwise, a deeper and more serious skin infection could develop. Other problems that group A strep can cause if impetigo is not properly treated include rheumatic fever (which can damage the heart) and kidney disease.

[…] In nonbullous impetigo, symptoms start with red pimple-like lesions that turn into vesicle or pus filled sores. The vesicles break down leaving a yellow crusted appearance. […] In bullous impetigo small or large, fragile, bullae appear that break open and leave the remnants at the site of infection. Patients with this form of impetigo often suffer from fever, loose stools and weakness in addition to the skin rash. Itching is a common symptom. Lymph nodes of the area may become swollen.

If you have ecthyma, you may have deeper sores with a yellow crust and purple borders. […] Often the infection will go away in a week or so with the correct treatment. Only rarely does the infection leave scars. Getting treatment quickly also reduces the chances of serious complications. […] Untreated impetigo can lead to deeper infection, especially if its caused by staph.

  https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/impetigo.html

  Impetigo may affect skin anywhere on the body, but is most common around the nose and mouth, hands, and forearms, and in young children, the diaper area. […] Non-bullous or crusted impetigo is most common. It begins as tiny blisters that eventually burst and leave small wet patches of red skin that may weep fluid. Gradually, a yellowish-brown or tan crust covers the area, making it look like it has been coated with honey or brown sugar. […] Bullous impetigo causes larger fluid-containing blisters that look clear, then cloudy. These blisters are more likely to stay longer on the skin without bursting. […] Ecthyma impetigo looks like „punched out” ulcers with yellow crust and red edges. […] After antibiotic treatment begins, healing should start within a few days. It’s important to make sure that your child takes the medicine as prescribed. Otherwise, a deeper and more serious skin infection could develop. Other problems that group A strep can cause if impetigo is not properly treated include rheumatic fever (which can damage the heart) and kidney disease.
