Skin Infections Treatment
Expert Care for All Types of Skin Infections: Fast, Effective Treatment
Skin infections can cause discomfort, pain, and embarrassment if left untreated. From bacterial to fungal and viral infections, prompt and proper treatment is essential to prevent complications and restore healthy skin. At The Skin Sense Clinic, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for all types of skin infections with proven, effective therapies.
What are Skin Infections?
Skin infections occur when harmful microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites invade the skin and underlying tissues. These infections can range from superficial conditions affecting only the outer skin layer to deeper infections involving subcutaneous tissues. Common symptoms include redness, swelling, pain, warmth, pus formation, and skin changes.
Types and Causes of Skin Infections
Skin infections are classified into four main types: bacterial infections (like cellulitis, impetigo, folliculitis), fungal infections (such as ringworm, athlete's foot, candidiasis), viral infections (including herpes, warts, molluscum contagiosum), and parasitic infections (like scabies). Risk factors include compromised immunity, poor hygiene, skin injuries, diabetes, excessive moisture, and close contact with infected individuals.
