A2 - Appachi, Elumalai PY - 2015 T2 - The Color Atlas of Pediatrics AB - A young boy presented to the office with a 3-day history of an untreated skin infection on his ear (Figure 99-1). His mother states that he has had white spots on his face for the past year but does not know how the ear infection started. The clinician noted honey crusts and purulent drainage from the lower pinna and pityriasis alba on the face. The child was not febrile and was behaving normally. Oral cephalexin was prescribed for the impetigo and 1 percent hydrocortisone ointment was given for the p. alba. Washing and hygiene issues were discussed to avoid spreading the infection within the household. During the 1-week follow-up appointment the impetigo was gone and the p. alba was improving.
