Our skin is our largest organ and a barrier that protects us from various external factors. Unfortunately, it is susceptible to infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, which can lead to discomfort and complications. If you are experiencing symptoms of a skin infection, our pharmacy is here to help.

Recognising skin infections

Common symptoms of minor skin infections include:

• Dry and/or flaky skin: Skin that feels rough and sheds small flakes.
• Itchy Skin: Persistent itching or irritation.
• Red and/or inflamed skin: Areas that appear red, swollen, or warm.
• Skin sores or scabs: Open wounds or crusty patches on the skin.

These symptoms can be indicative of a range of conditions, from simple irritations to more serious infections. Identifying the correct cause is crucial for effective treatment.
