Ulcers
Once the blisters from deep infantigo start to burst or fade, they will commonly be replaced by a deep ulcer. This can look like a punched out hole in the skin. The red border may still be represent and there will often be a yellow crust over the sores.1‘Impetigo.’ Nemours KidsHealth - the Web’s Most Visited Site About Children’s Health, kidshealth.org/en/parents/impetigo.html
A warm wet cloth or antiseptic soap may help speed healing. The ulcers caused by deep infantigo are more serious. They reach more deeply into the skin and can cause permanent damage. 4‘Ecthyma: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus - Health Information from the National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000864.htm
