...Impetigo..: Sounds like Impetigo, a fairly common skin infection caused by Bacteria. Tends to be common in children in Daycare but can also happen to adults. Could be itchy and painful. Spreads easily over body by contact/Blisters. Treated with oral Antibiotics & Topical Antibiotic Cream. Best to See Doctor for Treatment and be meticulous.
