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.
Treating Skin Infections
We’ll recommend treatment to help clear the infection and relieve symptoms.
Common skin infection treatments include:
- Prescription medication or creams for bacterial skin infections
- Scabies treatment and contact advice
- Medical certificates if needed
