What Causes Red Rashes Around The Mouth?
I am frightened my son has impetigo. His child care centre had a case yesterday. He has had a little rash around his mouth for a few weeks now, from his dummy keeping the area moist i think but the rash seems more red today and slightly bigger. Is he ok to go to care tomorrow so long as there are no blisters?

dear madam,
sorry to hear that.if you suspect impetigo better get medical treatment as the lesion tends to spread and it is contagious.so dont send him to child care centre till his lesions heal.have a good day
