Staph infections

Staph infections are caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus, which naturally live on the skin and inside the nose. When the skin is broken or weakened, these bacteria can enter the body and cause an infection. Symptoms vary depending on the infection site but often include redness, swelling, pain, and pus. Some staph infections are minor, like pimples or boils, while others can be more serious, affecting bones, blood, or organs. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and maintaining good hygiene helps prevent infections. In resistant cases, medical intervention may be necessary to manage the infection effectively.
