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.
