2. Staph Cellulitis

A warning sign of staph is cellulitis, an infection of the skin. Skin infections worm their way into the skin via a fungi, bacteria, or parasites. They enter the top layer of the skin where it is permeable, and spread into the underlying tissues. Symptoms can be obvious clues which are sometimes identifiable as redness, swelling, pain, and discomforts. Cellulitis can surface as an open sore or simply redness on the skin. Cellulitis is very inflammatory.

As far as breaks or wounds in the skin are concerned, make sure you treat them immediately with rinsing water, and antibiotic medications. In the event where the skin becomes affected by boils and blisters, it is an indication of an infection. Very often in the case of boils, a secondary complex infection may occur. Other than causing pain, boils and blisters can also lead to a blood infection known as sepsis. This occurs when the infection makes its way to the deeper layer of the skin.
