The condition usually appears in areas on the body where skin touches skin, such as under the breast and in the groin area. Symptoms may include irregular pink patches that turn into brown scales. The infection may recur, requiring another treatment. Impetigo A skin infection, caused by a staphylococci infection, which is characterized by pus-filled blisters. Blisters can range in size from peas to large rings.
Impetigo tends to occur on the face, arms, or legs.
Immediate treatment may help prevent impetigo from infecting deeper layers of skin. Treatment often includes antibiotics. Paronychia A skin infection around a fingernail or toenail. The infection can be caused by a break in the skin due to a hangnail, manicuring, or other chronic irritation. The symptoms of bacterial skin infections may resemble other dermatologic conditions.
