I got a note from my son school saying he has impetigo?

My three year old has a sore on his left ear. I got a note saying that it looks like impetigo. I had question about that yesterday. He going to the doctor today since he a fever. The sore fluid came out clear like a regular blister would do. They said it look like impetigo puss pocket.. The fluid came out clear. What do you think it could be. Would you think it could be impetigo. Thanks

If the fliud get a kinda yellow look when dry and the little sore scab gets a yellowish crust and won't make a good dark hard scab you bet it is, and it spreads big time so glad you are going to the DR. today, your whole family could end up with this, and it can get big and nasty, really fast. Wash your hands and his if you touch it with antibacterial soap if you have it.

your welcome, I sure hope its just a little blister or something that goes away. I hope the fever is doing better as well take care. Report It

sounds like it to me
