Brief Answer:
Impetigo

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
Sounds like you are usingnthebright treatment for the impetigo. As long as he doesn't have fever or irritability you don't have to worry about anything else, including the urine smell.
Continue treatment for as long as your doctor prescribed. If he starts a fever or becomes irritable, consult your doctor and have him re-examined.
