A school-age child is experiencing pruritic vesicles around the mouth. The lesions have a honey-colored crust. The nurse realizes that the child is most likely experiencing:

2. herpes simplex.
3. impetigo.
4. tinea corporis.

Impetigo is a common, superficial skin infection beginning as a focal erythema and progressing to pruritic vesicles, erosions, and honey-colored crusts. Oral herpes simplex would look like a cold sore. Tinea corporis has a circular, red, scaly border, and candidiasis is a proliferation of the normal yeast flora.
