Bacteria infection by contamination
These are usually cause by staph infection and they can be spread to open skin. Some children are also colonized with the staph in their nose. They rub their nose and then scratch and spread it to another part of their body. Sometimes putting 1/4 cup of bleach in the bath water once a week can help stop the spread and put antibiotic ointment in her nose 2 times a day for a week
