The development of a honey-colored crust over a thin-walled vesicle is a hallmark of impetigo contagiosa, a highly contagious bacterial skin infection. Carbuncles are deep skin infections that result in a painful, pus-filled lump, Scabies is a parasitic skin infestation, and Pediculosis is infestation with lice. None of these conditions typically present with honey-colored crusts over thin-walled vesicles.
