Blisters
Commonly, a child will have non-bullous or crusted infantigo, the most mild form of the infection. If a child develops large blisters as opposed to smaller blisters or sores, they could have the bullous form.
Bullous infantigo features larger blisters filled with fluid that may begin clear and go cloudy. These blisters may not rupture as quickly as the type caused by crusted infantigo and the overall course of the infection could take longer. Still, bullous infantigo is not the most serious kind.1‘Impetigo.’ Nemours KidsHealth - the Web’s Most Visited Site About Children’s Health, kidshealth.org/en/parents/impetigo.html
