A skin infection occurs when pathogens infect the skin and, in some cases, deep tissue below the skin. Various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, can cause these types of infections.The symptoms, severity, and treatment options associated with skin infections vary widely and depend on the cause. People living withimmune system disordersand have weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of developing both skin conditions and the complications that can arise.If a skin infection is mild, over-the-counter (OTC) treatment options may be enough, but others may require you to visit a healthcare provider for medical attention.FatCamera / Getty ImagesTypes of Skin InfectionsThe types of skin infections include:This photo contains content that some people may find graphic or disturbing.See PhotoReproduced with permission from © DermNet New Zealandwww.dermnetnz.org2023.Bacterial Skin InfectionsBacterial skin infections develop when bacteria enter the skin through a small wound or opening.

There will also likely be pus coming from the area.Fungal:Red or light-colored, scaly patches of skin, along with small blister-like sores filled with fluid or pus, are often present in a fungal skin infection.Viral:Painful blisters are the most notable visual symptom of a viral skin infection.Parasitic:A rash with small red or dark-colored bumps or lines on the skin’s surface can indicate a parasitic skin infection.What Do Skin Infections Look Like?What Are the Common Symptoms?Symptoms of skin infections depend on what causes it.

Some notable examples include chicken pox and measles.The risk factors associated with viral skin infections include:Having a compromised immune system or takingimmunosuppressive medicationsHaving other infections or health disorders, includinghuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV)oreczemaBeing pregnantBeing an older adult or childHaving had prior spinal surgery or radiotherapyFungal Skin InfectionsFungi need specific conditions to thrive. They tend to grow best in warm and moist environments.Lifestyle is often the most notable risk factor associated with fungal skin infections, with some specifics being:Wearing sweaty clothing, socks, or shoes for long periodsHaving excess skinfoldsBathing in water that contains high levels of pathogens orcontaminantsSharing personal items with others who have fungal infections on the skinHaving a weakened immune system or chronic disease, such asdiabetesNot having healthy hygiene practicesFungal Skin Infections: Types, Treatment, and PreventionParasitic Skin InfectionsParasitic skin infections can occur when a parasite manages to infiltrate the body. Those who are most at risk for these types of skin infections are:People with compromised immune systemsMigrants or those returning from traveling to places where parasites are more rampantGeneral Risk Factors for All Types of Skin InfectionsVarious risk factors are associated with skin infections, regardless of the type. Some of those risk factors include:Having underlying health conditions, such as diabetes or immune-system disorders, such as HIVHaving a weakened immune system due tochemotherapyor medications that suppress immunityBeing older in age or younger than age 5Staying in one position for a long time, such as lying in bed for long periods due to illness orparalysisBeing malnourishedHaving many skinfolds, which can be the case for those living with obesityDiagnosisA healthcare provider will perform a physical examination and collect your medical history to diagnose a skin infection. They may also use lab tests to determine what type of pathogen is causing the infection so they can treat it appropriately.Lab tests can include a skin culture, which involvestaking a skin samplethrough swabbing, scraping, or removing and examining it for bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Ablood testmay also be performed to determine the cause and rule out any other conditions.Differential DiagnosisSince skin infections can mimic other disorders and conditions, such as skin diseases or systemic (body-wide) diseases, getting a proper diagnosis before treatment is crucial. A healthcare provider will conduct all appropriate tests to ensure they have ruled out anything more permanent than a skin infection.Signs of an Infection After Skin Cancer RemovalTreatment OptionsTreatment options for skin infections vary depending on the cause and can include:Antibioticsfor bacteria-driven infectionsAntiviralsfor virus-related infectionsAntifungal creams, ointments, or oral medications for fungal infectionsTopical ointments, creams, and oral medications like ivermectin for parasitic infectionsHome Care and Alternative TreatmentsYou can ease symptoms of a skin infection at home in various ways. Some techniques include:Taking a watch and wait approachAvoiding squeezing, scratching or popping any blisters or bumpsUsing a cold compress to reduce swelling, inflammation, and itchingTake over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines or creams, to reduce itching and discomfortTake pain relievers for painWear loose-fitting clothing on the affected areaOver-the-counter topical antibiotics like bacitracinWhat’s the Outlook for Someone With a Skin Infection?The outlook associated with skin infections is typically positive, but it will depend on the type of infection and the severity.Typically, getting the proper medication quickly will help clear up the infection. That said, if left untreated, some skin conditions can lead to severe health consequences if they manage to get deep into the skin or into the bloodstream. Some bacterial infections require immediate attention because they can beresistant to certain antibioticsand thus require a specialized approach.Skin Infection ComplicationsVarious complications can arise if a skin infection is left untreated, including:Skin breakdown or cell deathRecurrent infectionsSepsisScarring or permanent skin discolorationInflammation of organs, including the heart, if the infection infiltrates the bloodstreamToxic shock syndromeInflammation and swelling of bone tissue below the skinPrevention TipsIf you want to prevent a skin infection from occurring, you can:Wash your hands often and adequatelyWash cuts, wounds, or insect bites as soon as they happenAvoiding sharing personal care items, such as towels, razors, bar soap, or clothesAvoid skin-to-skin contact with someone who has a skin infectionCover all infection sites and wounds with a bandage and keep them dry and cleanClean bedding, clothes, or shared objectsWhen to Contact a Healthcare ProviderIf you think you have a skin infection, it’s crucial to see a healthcare provider. Leaving it untreated can lead to severe complications. You should also seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs of severe infection, the infection keeps returning, or you are immunocompromised.SummarySkin infection symptoms and signs can vary depending on the type. The four pathogens that typically cause skin infections, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, will all present slightly differently when they arise.Skin infections can be treated easily using various therapies and medications, either oral or topical. If left untreated, they can lead to more severe health complications. That is why seeing a healthcare provider at the first sign of a skin infection is vital for prompt diagnosis and treatment.To avoid developing a skin infection, take care of yourself in ways that foster good health. This includes washing your hands regularly, limiting contact with others who have skin infections, and washing and bandaging all cuts or scrapes as they occur.
