| Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention |
| Alternative Names: |
| Skin infection - bacterial |
| Prevention: |
|
Avoid skin damage by wearing appropriate protective equipment when participating in work or sports. Also clean any breaks in the skin carefully and watch for redness, pain, drainage, or other signs of infection. Finally, maintain good general health and control chronic medical conditions. A body that is healthy can more easily fight bacteria before they multiply and cause infection, while a body that is run down has less protection against infection. |
