Thats right bharat, the correct answer is D. This is impetigo, which is typically seen in preschool children with poor hygiene, particularly in the summer in warm climates. The characteristic lesion has a large golden crust. Most cases are caused by Staphylococcus aureus; Streptococcus pyogenes is occasionally implicated. Impetigo is highly infectious, and mini-epidemics can occur in daycare settings. The initial treatment is typically with penicillins and topical preparations. Methicillin-resistant strains are presently rare in this setting, but can occur.
Aphthous ulcers (choice A), commonly known as "canker sores," are painful, shallow ulcers of the oral cavity.
Erysipelas (choice B) is a different type of skin infection, often caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (also sometimes others including Staphylococcus), and is characterized by large erythematous patches.
Herpes simplex I (choice C) causes tiny oral and perioral vesicles, but not large golden crusts.
Measles (choice E) causes a blotchy erythematous rash.
I know your busy with exams and I also know that you will get through with flying scores
