Overview
Infections occur when harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, invade the skin, leading to a range of symptoms like redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes discharge or blisters. These infections can arise from cuts, insect bites, or other breaches in the skin’s protective barrier. Left untreated, skin infections can worsen and spread, causing more severe health issues. At Seaside Dermatology, we provide comprehensive care to diagnose and treat various skin infections, ensuring prompt intervention to restore your skin’s health.
Common Symptoms:
- Redness and inflammation in the affected area
- Swelling and tenderness around the infection site
- Pain or discomfort, especially when touched
- Itching or a burning sensation
- Presence of blisters, sores, or pus-filled lesions
- Warmth in the infected area
- Scaling, peeling, or crusting of the skin
Common Types
Bacterial Infections
Bacterial infections, such as cellulitis and impetigo, occur when harmful bacteria enter the skin through cuts, abrasions, or other openings. These often present with symptoms like redness, warmth, swelling, and pain. Without prompt treatment, bacterial infections can spread.
Viral Infections
Viral skin infections, including herpes and warts, are caused by viruses that invade the skin cells. These infections can manifest as painful blisters, sores, or raised growths on the skin. Viral infections often persist and may require ongoing management to control outbreaks.
Fungal Infections
Fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm, thrive in warm, moist environments and can affect various parts of the body. These infections typically cause itching, redness, and scaling of the skin and can spread easily through direct contact or shared surfaces.
