Do you notice red patches, itching, rashes, or painful bumps on your skin?
It could be a skin infection — and getting it diagnosed early can prevent complications.
At Bliss By Skin Alive Clinic & Nashik Surgery Centre, Dr. Manasi Pawar and her team offer expert diagnosis and effective treatments for all types of skin infections using modern dermatological techniques.
A skin infection occurs when harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites invade the skin and cause inflammation, irritation, or visible damage.
Skin infections may range from mild itching or redness to painful blisters, swelling, or pus, and should be treated by a qualified dermatologist.
Your skin naturally forms a protective barrier against germs. But when the outer layer is damaged by cuts, injuries, excessive moisture, or poor hygiene, microbes can enter and trigger infection.
Common risk factors include:
Caused by harmful bacteria entering the skin through wounds or abrasions.
Treatment:
Topical or oral antibiotics prescribed by a dermatologist.
Caused by viruses that replicate inside skin cells. Often contagious and require early care.
Treatment:
Managed with antiviral medications and supportive care.
Develop in warm, moist areas of the body, especially in monsoon or after excessive sweating.
Treatment:
Antifungal creams, powders, or oral medications are prescribed based on severity.
Caused by small parasites that feed on human skin and lay eggs.
Treatment:
Topical creams, lotions, and oral antiparasitic medications are used.

These help confirm the infection type and rule out other skin diseases.
