Skin Infections
The skin is the largest organ of the body and provides a protective barrier against bacterial infections. Although many bacterial pathogenic strains come into contact or reside upon the skin, many are unable to establish an infection.
Causes and Symptoms
Bacterial infections can develop however, when bacteria find a way to enter the body. Entry can be made in several ways, through the hair follicles or from damage to the skin. This can include: a scrape, cut, puncture, burn, insect bite, open wound, surgery, or a pre-existing skin disorder. Contamination can also occur through a variety of activities such as, swimming in open water, gardening in contaminated soil or from working in a medical environment. This would usually come down to poor standards of hygiene and/or the incorrect use of personal protective equipment. Some people are naturally more receptive to developing skin infections and this is typically seen in people who are deemed as being health and age vulnerable.
In the event an infection does occur, the affected area can range in size and severity and although many are harmless, others can be life threatening. Some infections affect only the skin and others involve damage to the soft tissues under the surface of the skin affecting the skin’s structure.
What can I expect from treatment?
It is recommended prompt action be taken in the event of any injury occurring to the skin. Keeping wounds clean and covered with a sterile bandage and following any recommended aftercare advice from your doctor, will reduce the chance of an infection developing. A tell-tale sign something isn’t right, is when a wound does not appear to be healing. Symptoms of an infection can vary, from redness and swelling, to sores and blisters, crusting, puss, and ooze leakage, as well as a high fever.
If you have noticed a change in your skin and are worried this may pertain to a bacterial infection, do not delay in contacting us. A Dermatologist will be able to diagnose this and immediately get your started on a treatment plan to prevent the possibility of a more serious complication.

I went to see a lot of other dermatologist and unfortunately I didn’t see any results from their treatments. Linia and doctor Zokaie were recommended to me by a friend. I am so happy I went to see them the whole team is very professional and his treatment plan has really helped and I feel very confident about my skin. I highly recommend him and his team
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I visited doctor Zokaie for the baby face procedure and I have to say he is excellent. The service was wonderful. My face was a bit red at first but within a few hours the redness went away. I could already see the results. I am very very happy. The staff was amazing as well.
