I think it's impetigo if I remember right. I have one on each hand and a flat, not so serious one on my left cheek. It started out as a blister on one hand (a very itchy blister) and I scratched it and spread it to my other hand and my face. I know it was a mistake to scratch it, but it was one of those unconscious actions, and it didn't even look like staph at the beginning, so I was caught off guard. The one on my face is least serious, being somewhat red but flat. The ones on my hands are quite bumpy and red. What can I do to speed up the healing process besides bandaids and triple antibiotic ointment (no bandaid on my face though)? I'd really like to be mostly rid of them when school starts on Monday. Oh, and I do periodically wash my hands and face.
