2. Blisters
Quickly, the red sores will develop to become blisters. These are filled with fluid and will eventually begin to ooze, burst, and then crust over. Again, it is important to encourage children not to scratch the area and to try and explain why children should not scratch them.
When the blisters are broken, this can cause fluid to leak out and that will then allow the infection to spread to other parts of the body. Should the fluid touch a surface, then it is very important that the surface be cleaned thoroughly, otherwise this can infect other people who touch the same surface.
As mentioned, the most common places for these blisters to occur is around the mouth, eyes, and feet. They can also be found in the folds of the skin.
