According to Dr. SK Gupta - Dermatologist, DMCH, Darbhanga, Bihar (India), the skin is the body's protective organ against harmful agents from the environment. However, when infected, the skin can be seriously damaged and lead to dangerous complications if not treated promptly. Here are 5 infections that can cause serious damage to the skin:
cellulose inflammation

Mushroom infections

These fungal infections are very common and often thrive in moist areas of the body. If not treated promptly, fungal infections can spread and cause serious damage to the skin.

The staphylococcus aureus bacteria can cause skin infections, including boils, abscesses, and follicular inflammation. In particular, the type of staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin (MRSA) causes difficult-to-treat infections due to stronger drug resistance. Common manifestations of MRSA infection include swollen, red, and painful skin areas. This infection can spread and affect overall health if not treated promptly.
