What Do Scabs In Nose And Mouth Of An Infant Indicate?

My lo is 1 year old and 3 days ago came out in some scabs around her nose and mouth she also has a blister which has peeled on her thump. I worry she may have impetigo passed from my cousin who currently has it to! Anyways I was just wondering if putting savlon cream on would be safe? And if it would help? Thanks in advance!

Yes, Savlon is a good disinfectant and it can be used to prevent the spread of infection from others to one's own skin and subcutaneous tissues (area of skin under the thin brown skin that we see)
