Impetigo: Impetigo is a bacterial infection caused by group a strep or staph and requires treatment either topically or orally if more severe. They are typically pustules and can have yellow crusting on the lesions. Rashes are very difficult to diagnose without looking at it. You can see your doctor or request virtual consult here if you want more info and rash can be seen or pic uploaded.
