Impetigo: This is a bacterial skin infection called impetigo and should be evaluated by your child's doctor -- it is usually remedied with a topical antibiotic.

May be impetigo: A rash with a honey-colored crust is often due to impetigo. This is a superficial skin infection and can be contagious. If the rash is small, you can try using an antibiotic ointment. Otherwise, given his young age, it may be good to have him see his pediatrician.
