• | lesions initiated by group A beta-hemolytic strep, but quickly become contaminated with staph |
• | features similar to impetigo: lesions begin as vesicles or bullae, but then rupture to form adherent crust that covers a crateriform ulcer (rather than the shallow erosion of impetigo) |
• | usually <10 lesions; typically on legs (from scratch or insect bite); heal with scarring |
• | 10 days of dicloxacillin or cephalexin (Keflex; 1st generation). |
