What are Skin Infections?

Skin infections like school sores (impetigo), infected cuts/wounds, cellulitis, bite wounds and scabies are common. These infections, caused by bacteria, can lead to redness, pain, pus, swelling, or itching. Some are contagious or may need antibiotics to treat the infection and prevent worsening or complications.
