Hi Again,
Ive gone through images uploaded.
It appears to be bacterial infection.It can be caused by bacteria like staphylococcus or streptococuus.
Treatment consist of oral antibiotics and topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin or retapamulin.
Mupirocin is available over the counter . Oral antibiotic like amoxycillin would be needed. Your pediatrician can prescribe them.
Lesions should go away in seven days.
Hope this helps.
Regards
