Erysipelas is a superficial streptococcal infection of the skin. Cellulitis is a deeper process that extends to the subcutis
both are diffuse, red, tender , warm..but cellulitis has ill-defined borders, whilst erysipelas has well-defined ones. the atter usually occurs on the face or legs
casuative for cellulitis--commonly strep ( pyogenes) and staph ( aureus)
staph is rarely a cause of erysipelas. strep is the most likely one.

- impetigo exist: nonbullous and bullous impetigo.
The nonbullous type is more common and typically occurs on the face and extremities, initially with vesicles or pustules on reddened skin that eventually rupture to leave the characteristic "honey-colored" (yellow-brown) crust
Bullous impetigo, almost exclusively caused by S aureus, exhibits flaccid bullae with clear yellow fluid that rupture and leave a golden-yellow crust
so this is ez to d/dt from the two before.

mx wise one point is important.
impetigo--For most patients with impetigo, topical treatment is adequate. if severe--systemic therapy
erysielas and cellulitis--systemic therapy
