French term (edited): croûtes mélicériques
Selected

honey-colored scabs

Note corrected spelling of "mélicériques."

"Ces croûtes sont dites « mélicériques » c’est-à-dire ont un aspect de "miel" ."
"Les lésions élémentaires provoquent une éruption de vésicules ou petites bulles translucides qui, au bout de quelques heures, se troublent et deviennent des pustules qui éclatent en libérant leur contenu qui forme une croûte jaunâtre en se desséchant"

honey-coloured crusts

This should be "croûtes mélicériques", there is a spelling mistake according to me.
It refers to the staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome.
