Our school would require an MD diagnosis and plan of care outlining possible school exclusion. Derm is hard, and a 6 year old?! They touch everything!

hard to say - could be anything from mrsa to allergic reaction gone inflamed to the afore mentioned impetego or herpes simplex. .I agree - kiddo needs to see a doc asap and needs to be clear to come back to school.
