Just thought I'd check on you. Does your grandson actually have it or was he just exposed? It is highly contagious unfortunately. Often times one of the first signs is a previous cut or scratch that starts looking crusty. Definitely practice good handwashing as the best way to prevent passing this along.
Hope you are doing well.
