Staphylococcal Skin Infection
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A staphylococcal skin infection is a skin infection caused by bacteria of the Staphylococcus genus, which normally live on the skin but can multiply and cause problems when they find a point of entry.
Common symptoms: redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area, formation of pimples, abscesses, or crusts, and sometimes local warmth or discharge.
When should you see a doctor? If the lesion grows, hurts intensely, there is fever, or if it affects the face or spreads rapidly.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist, the infectious disease specialist, or the family physician can examine the lesion and advise on care. Avoid handling or squeezing the lesions on your own; when there are signs of an infection that is not improving, the best thing is a professional checkup.
