Answer:Impetigo

Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection which causes sores and blisters. It's very common and affects mainly children.

There are two types of impetigo:

• bullous impetigo, which causes large, painless, fluid-filled blisters  
• non-bullous impetigo, which is more contagious than bullous impetigo and causes sores that quickly rupture (burst) to leave a yellow-brown crust
