10 Staph Infection Symptoms
3. Skin Rash
A rash is a disturbance in the normal structure of the skin, usually involving changes in the skin color and texture. It is a non-specific symptom that can be seen in many conditions. Usually, a rash can cause itchiness in the affected area, but this is not always the case.
S. Aureus is the causing agent of many skin conditions like impetigo and folliculitis. Patients with impetigo usually experience small blister-like lesions that are usually filled with a yellow fluid. Eventually, these lesions will turn into a yellowish crust which is a classic finding in this condition. S. Aureus also causes folliculitis which may appear as a red rash surrounding hair follicles.
