Pyoderma

Pyoderma is a bacterial skin infection that results in the formation of pus, leading to red, inflamed, and often painful skin lesions such as sores, blisters, or crusted areas. It commonly occurs when bacteria, like Staphylococcus or Streptococcus, invade damaged or compromised skin. Pyoderma can affect people of all ages and may spread if not properly treated. It often requires medical attention, which may include antibiotics and proper skin care, to clear the infection and prevent complications. Good hygiene and prompt treatment are key to managing pyoderma effectively.
