Skin Related Infections Center

Skin infections stem from sources such as inflammation of a hair follicle (folliculitis), sexually transmitted behavior (e.g., herpes simplex viruses), diseases associated with childhood (e.g., measles, impetigo) and reactions to medication or illness (Stevens Johnson syndrome). Other infections include fungal skin infections (tinea versicolor), leprosy and cellulitis.
