One of the most common skin diseases are bacterial infections . They can affect people of all age groups, genders and races.
An infection is the penetration, reproduction and release of toxins by microorganisms in the human body. It can be due to any of the following diseases and conditions: congenital immunodeficiency conditions, leukemia, cancers, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, extensive burns, HIV/AIDS, diabetes mellitus, and others.
Characteristic of the diseases of this group is their infectious nature - they are caused by different types of bacteria that enter the body either from the environment or upon contact with another infected person. Not all bacterial infections are contagious.
Erysipelas, for example also known as red wind, is not transmitted from person to person. For its occurrence, it is necessary to have an injury to the skin surface, through which a bacterium that inhabits the environment enters the subcutaneous tissues and causes disease. Another part of bacterial diseases are contagious and are transmitted from person to person - eg. impetigo, which is among the most common diseases especially in childhood and can be transmitted from person to person or when using common household items. Before taking any action, it is good to familiarize yourself in detail with the causative agents, the course of bacterial infections , as well as consider the ways of how to protect yourself from contracting bacterial infections. Probiotic supplements can help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria.
