Ecthyma Picture

Ecthyma is a skin infection similar to impetigo, but more deeply invasive. Usually caused by a streptococcus infection, ecthyma goes through the outer layer (epidermis) to the deeper layer (dermis) of skin, possibly causing scars. The main symptom of ecthyma is a small blister with a red border that may be filled with pus. Often a crusty ulcer appears after the blister leaves as seen in the picture below.
