Hi....usually skin conditions are best diagnosed and managed only after seeing the skin lesions. So I suggest you upload the images or photograph of the kid with the skin lesions here on this website. This will help us guide you in more scientific way.
But by what you quote it could be a pyoderma or skin and soft tissue infection or as your pediatrician told, herpes.
Please upload the images.
