yes it is scalded skin syndrome and this happens high up in the epidermis
these skin blisters can occur anywhere from epidermis to dermis, the one caused by staph aureus occurs high up in the epidermis and it is good as it will heal easily
the rule is that lower down these blisters occur the worse the prognosis
