A skin infection is a condition where harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses invade the skin, leading to inflammation and other symptoms. Common symptoms of a skin infection include redness, swelling, warmth, pain, itching, and sometimes pus-filled blisters or sores. Depending on the cause and severity of the infection, it may affect a small area or spread over a larger area of the skin. Skin infections can occur anywhere on the body and can be caused by various factors such as poor hygiene, cuts or wounds, weakened immune system, or exposure to contaminated surfaces. Treatment typically involves topical or oral medications to kill the infectious agents and alleviate symptoms. In severe cases, medical intervention may be necessary to prevent complications. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent the infection from spreading or worsening.
