Is he on antibiotics for them? (The friend?)
Its just done the rounds here. DD3 has JUST healed, DD2 had them a whole month ago.
I didn't get abs, I used tea tree, antiseptic cream & kept them well covered with waterproof bandages until they were completely gone. I kept DD2 home til crusted over, even though covered but it did say on google that once scabbed over they are no longer contagious. I still kept them covered though, til there was nothing but a scar on her leg, just in case.
DD3's was affected by her eczema as well, but we've kept her away from others also & did the same as with DD2. Harder to cover though being under her chin.
My girls also had them when DS was born (that day) & we asked a paed. He said as long as they had been on antibiotics for 24 hours they shouldn't be contagious anymore. DS never got them.
