Skin Infections

Bacteria, viruses and various fungus or parasitic agents infect the skin to cause common conditions like acne, athlete's foot, boils, impetigo, ringworm, scabies and the dark patches of tinea nigra. Skin rashes from shingles, rubella, roseola and measles develop from viral infections originating in other parts of the body. Learn about all these and other skin infections by clicking below.
