What is Skin infection?

Skin infections can range from mild (like a small patch of impetigo or a fungal rash) to more serious conditions like cellulitis. They often occur after a break in the skin and may be caused by bacteria (e.g. Staph), fungi, or viruses. Prompt treatment can help prevent the spread or worsening of the infection.

What Are the Symptoms of a Skin infection?

Symptoms vary but often include:

Redness, warmth, or swelling

Pain or tenderness in the affected area

Pus, blisters, or crusting

Itching or irritation

Fever or chills (in more serious cases)
