What Causes Rash With Yellow Crust On The Body?
This is the second or third time I ve gotten bites that look like misquote bites but some of them have a dry yellowish crust. They don t itch as much during the day as they do at night. My husband sleeps in the same bed but has no bites... what could this be? AlsI I noticed this the day after I went fishing and walked thru woods but my friend that was with me had no bites.

Hi,
Based on your description, it may be impetigo which is a bacterial infection of the skin. It can be effectively treated with a course of antibiotics if your doctor confirms that this is the problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
