2. Sores and Blisters
In some cases, a staph infection may cause a person to develop a condition known as impetigo. Impetigo will cause sores and blisters to show up on the skin. The areas that are most often affected by impetigo include the mouth and the nose. These blisters may also appear on the trunk area of the body. The blisters and sores that appear on the skin will often burst quite easily.
When the blisters pop they will leave behind a crust that is yellowish in color. The skin that is affected by the bacteria may also become quite itchy. The blisters and sores may be quite painful, but in some cases, they are not painful at all. If these types of blisters appear on the skin it is important to avoid picking at them or scratching them or they will scar. In addition, picking at the blisters can cause the infection to spread, which can lead to further issues.
