Impetigo Symptom

Impetigo symptom contagiosa
The most common is impetigo symptom contagiosa, which usually starts as a red sore on your child's face, most often around the nose and mouth. The sore ruptures quickly, oozing either fluid or pus that forms a honey-colored crust. Eventually the crust disappears, leaving a red mark that heals without scarring. The sores may be itchy, but they aren't painful.

Your child isn't likely to have a fever with this type of impetigo symptom but may have swollen lymph nodes in the affected area. And because it's highly contagious, just touching or scratching the sores can spread the infection to other parts of your child's body.

Bullous impetigo symptom
Bullous impetigo symptom primarily affects children younger than two years and infants. It causes painless blisters — usually on the trunk, arms and legs. The blisters may be large or small and may last longer than sores from other types of impetigo. Bullous impetigo may cause other signs and impetigo symptoms, including:

Fever
Diarrhea
General weakness
Ecthyma
Ecthyma is a more serious form of impetigo in which the infection penetrates deep into the skin's second layer (dermis). Signs and impetigo symptoms include:

Painful fluid- or pus-filled sores that turn into deep ulcers, usually on the legs and feet
A hard, thick, gray-yellow crust covering the sores
Swollen lymph glands in the affected area
Scars that remain after the ulcers heal
