Infantigo? A skin condition more common in children than adults that is usually caused by a strep or staph infection. It is characterized by erythema (warmth and redness) and vesicles (small sacs that contain fluid). The vesicles rupture and become covered with a sticky yellow crust. The hands and face are common sites of this infection. It is treated with antibiotics.
