What is a Skin Infection? As most of the people think, a skin infection is just an infection of the skin.

However, serious and severe cases require medical evaluation and treatment.Skin infections are spread by an indirect or a direct contact with a patient – through handling items, they have infected or by skin to skin contact.
Preventions of skin infections: • Skin infections are highly contagious, regular hand washing with soap is important to help stop the spread. Mainly, cleansing skin thoroughly can help wash off bacteria from the skin. • Prompt treatment of incisions and abrasions can help to prevent infection-causing germs from entering the wound in the first place. • Sharing items with an infected person (cups, cutlery, towels, bedding) could mean you share the infection too. • Eat food items rich in vitamins C, D and E, like strawberries, pumpkins, olive oil and pomegranates for their skin cleansing, hydrating and antioxidant properties.
