45 y/o female, thought she was bitten by an insect. First image is first lesion that appeared. Second image is one on the other leg but was treated with Betadine cream and had local reaction to cream. My first thought was that it is impetigo. But the second lesion doesn't look like impetigo. Any thoughts?
