Staphylococcal impetigo
Impetigo can be caused by either staph or strep (GABHS) but these days, more is caused by staph than strep. Bullous impetigo is mostly a newborn disease, and this is clearly not a newborn. If it were staph scalded skin syndrome, it would be caused by two different exotoxins, which are generated by both a chromosomal process as well as a plasmid-generated process.
Since nearly everyone got this, I will not belabor the diagnostic cues.
