5. What Are Common Signs of Skin Infection?
Most minor skin infections cause a similar set of symptoms. People often experience redness, swelling, and raised rashes at the site of infection. In some cases, the rashes manifest as blisters or pustules. In others, they can develop into abscesses or open sores.
Pain or itchiness is another common symptom of most skin infections. For many people, the discomfort is limited to the immediate area of infection. However, if the infection spreads or gets into the bloodstream, pain and inflammation may manifest in other parts of the body.
