What Is Erysipelas?
3. Causes
Our skin is able to resist quite a lot without being damaged. It’s flexibility also means it can flex instead of breaking under pressure. It is far from indestructible, though, and there are various ways the skin can be broken. Among the most common of all is some form of injury, and this can include wounds that were caused by surgery procedures.
People that have skin ulcers are more also more prone to developing erysipelas, and other skin conditions like psoriasis can also cause it. Edema, which is swelling, can also cause the skin to become broken, and insect bites can also make a way for the bacteria to enter the body. Injecting drugs is potential another cause.
