Red Border
Ecthyma, also called deep infantigo, is a similar infection that reaches more deeply into the skin. It may start similarly to the other types of infantigo, but it can produce more serious signs of infection and leave deeper marks in the skin.
One of the first signs of deep infantigo is that the blisters or red spots are surrounded by a layer of reddened skin. Parents who see this red border around their child's spots should discuss it with their doctor.4‘Ecthyma: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus - Health Information from the National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000864.htm
