Hands Patient Suffering From Psoriasis

What is it?

Bacterial skin infections occur when bacteria enter the skin through cuts, insect bites, or damaged skin barriers. In children, these infections may appear as red, swollen, painful areas, pus-filled sores, crusting, or rapidly spreading rashes. Common conditions include impetigo, boils, folliculitis, and abscesses. If left untreated, bacterial infections can worsen and spread to deeper layers of the skin.
