Bacterial Skin Infection
A bacterial skin infection occurs when microorganisms penetrate through small lesions or cracks and multiply, causing inflammation in the affected area.
Common symptoms: redness, warmth, swelling, pain and, at times, the presence of pus or crusts in the involved area.
Common causes: wounds, bites, scratches, or disruptions of the skin's natural barrier that make it easier for bacteria to enter.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist evaluates the skin and guides management, while the infectious disease specialist may get involved in more complex cases. If the redness spreads, fever appears, or the discomfort increases, the prudent thing is to see a professional for an evaluation soon.
