HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The lesions may be impetigo which is a skin infection. It commonly causes crusting lesions.
You can try cleaning the area with a mild anti septic and applying a topical antibiotic to the area.
These can be obtained over the counter.
If there is improvement then oral antibiotics may be needed.
I hope this helps
