I know, it's your favorite subject -- bacterial skin infections. Nobody likes them but most of us get them. Some need to be treated with antibiotics and others actually just need to be treated by draining the abscess.
This week we'll take a look at some common skin infections caused by bacteria. I hope you don't ever have to use this information, but it's here if you need it.

In the Spotlight

Cellulitis
Cellulitis is a very common skin infection that affects the upper layers of the skin. Have you ever had a cellulitis?

Carbuncles
I've always thought this was such a funny-sounding name, but it's not a funny infection to have. More people are getting carbuncles as resistant bacteria are on the rise.

Impetigo
Impetigo is a common skin infection in children although adults are starting to get this infection more and more. You've probably heard the name, but do you know what it looks like?
