Usually, no lymphadenopathy occurs, and fever is a common presentation.

Honey‐colored crusts are not formed in bullous impetigo. This may rupture, exposing an erythematous base and rim.

It usually presents as vesicles that form flaccid bullae containing yellow‐ or dark‐colored fluid. The bullous type almost exclusively affects infants. Systemic symptoms such as fever are typically absent. Rapid spread and satellite lesions can occur, with mild regional lymphadenopathy. The ruptured area exhibits an erythematous base. Nonbullous impetigo often appears as vesicles that coalesce and rupture, and the purulent exudate forms the characteristic honey‐colored crust. Self‐inoculation helps the lesions spread further.Ĭlinically, these two types show distinct patterns. Breaches in skin integrity expose fibronectin receptors, promoting bacterial colonization. The causative organism is mostly group A streptococcus (GAS) in the nonbullous type and Staphylococcus aureus in the bullous type. The Australian aboriginal children exhibited the highest prevalence of impetigo (49%) It shows a seasonal tendency and is more prevalent in the hot/humid seasons, that is, summer and fall. Males and females are equally affected, and it is more common in the 2‐ to 5‐year‐old age‐group. While the exact prevalence is unclear, it is estimated to account for 10% of pediatric skin complaints. It may occur as a primary infection of the epidermis or secondary to any trauma or breach in the skin. Is one of the most common pediatric skin complaints, caused by gram‐positive bacteria and highly contagious. Further larger clinical studies are necessary to establish its role in pediatric dermatology. We present three cases of impetigo and one case of bullous pemphigoid neonatorum that benefited from the homeopathic remedy Antimonium crudum, which has a wide spectrum of dermatological applications when prescribed according to symptom similarity.
