Could children be allowed to go to daycare with dryscabs?

Usually: It depends on the daycare's rules, but usually closed lesions which are not open or bleeding are not particularly contagious to others. If there is a concern, or your child is likely to pick at them, put a band-aid on to keep them clean.
