Staphylococcal Skin Infections

Staphylococcal skin infections are caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus, commonly found on the skin and in the nose. They can lead to various skin issues, such as boils, cellulitis, and impetigo. These infections often occur when bacteria enter through cuts or breaks in the skin. Symptoms may include redness, swelling, pain, and pus-filled sores. While minor infections can often be treated at home, more serious cases might require medical attention and antibiotics. Good hygiene practices, like regular handwashing and keeping wounds clean, can help prevent these infections from developing.
