Anyone know what this weird skin thing is?

[LittleRedYoshi]

Yesterday 3yo DD complained a couple of times that her chin hurt, but it looked fine then - nothing out of the ordinary and not seen her scratching it or anything. This morning, she's woken up with this. It's not quite a rash, not quite a sore, the colour looks like there might be some pus - never seen anything like it. Any guesses what it is? (Trying to get a GP e-consult as well, of course, but often easier said than done).

Impetigo maybe

We have had impetigo here. It is spreading like wildfire at the moment.

Impetigo, it spreads so easily.

I was gonna say impetigo. See gp.

Thanks all. We'd Googled and didn't think it looked like impetigo but having never seen it before, it's so hard to know, so appreciate your experience - thank you. E-consult is in, hopefully we hear back from the GP soon.

Agree on impetigo. My dd had it years ago, aged about five, and it looked like that.

Impetigo …needs covering up because it’s very contagious.

Just adding to the general consensus - it was the first thing I thought of. I had it many years ago. Hope your eConsult/GP session goes well. 🌹

Looks a bit like ringworm. Not an expert, but both my son and I had it on our faces a few years back.

Impetigo or ringworm

GP confirmed impetigo and has prescribed antibiotics. Thank you, wise Mumsnetters!

Ringworm?
