Answer:

Impetigo

Step-by-step explanation:

Impetigo - it is a type of skin disease caused by bacteria known as staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria infect the outer part of the skin called the epidermis. This mostly affects children of age 2 to 5.

The symptoms of impetigo include red sores then continuous ooze and then finally to yellow crust on the outer layer. Red sores are first developed on the nose and then spread slowly to the other part of the body.
