Bullous impetigo in a 6-year-old girl

Abstract

Impetigo is a contagious superficial bacterial skin infection, predominantly affecting children. There are two types of impetigo: nonbullous and bullous. Bullous impetigo is caused by toxin-producing S. aureus. We present a case of bullous impetigo in a 6-year-old girl with skin lesions on the upper limbs.
