10 Staph Infection Symptoms
4. Warm Skin
Localized changes in skin temperature might be a sign of infection or inflammation. During an inflammation process, the blood vessels in the affected area are going to expand, causing more blood to rush into the site. This increase in blood flow is going to cause the affected area to become warm to the touch.
S. Aureus is known to cause skin and soft tissue infections. As the inflammation process progresses, the affected area is going to become red, warm, tender to the touch, and it may even swell-up. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible for a proper evaluation.
