Skin infections can vary in size and location on the body, but are often painful and can be both embarrassing to look at and permanently disfiguring. With skin infections you will often experience itchiness, redness, burning and flaking of the skin which often turns a brown or red colour. Impetigo, ringworm, and molluscum are all fungal skin infections caused by bacteria that can be transferred by simply touching the lesions or infected areas. Sharing clothes with an affected person is also strongly discouraged to prevent bacterial skin infections. The technical name for a skin tag is acrochordon; they are small benign tumours that often occur where the skin forms creases.
Fungal skin infections usually affect your skin because they live off keratin, a protein that makes up your skin, hair and nails. Fungal skin infections can be spread from person to person. These can be treated and we have a range that can be delivered quickly and discreetly.
