HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It may be impetigo.

This is common skin infection. It starts as redness or discomfort of the skin. This progresses to blisters or sores that then crust over.
The crust would have a yellow appearance.

It is treated with antibiotic therapy.

It would be best to see your doctor for an assessment and treatment.

I hope this helps
