We visited my brother and his family in Devon and my youngest came back with what we thought was a friction burn on her arm from bodyboarding.
We visited a local chemist and we were given cream and breathable plasters as it was just a bit of a burn.
A few days later we left the country by ferry to visit my other brother in Germany. The wound had grown substantialy and the ships doctor dressed the wound with a bandage. Whist holidaying this wound on Jessies arm spread to her stomach and leg. We visited my brothers GP and he gave us some cream and told us that when we returned to the UK go and visit a skin specialist. My wife replied with "Do you know how the NHS works?"
As soon as we returned we took Jess to our GP who immediately said "Impetigo" The doctor diagnosed some antibiotics and a skin cream. Literally within hours the wound was shrinking.
BTW,whilst in Germany Jess managed to infect a swimming pool and her Uncle and the ferry
