Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Its aim is to protect your body against infection. The skin itself gets infected occasionally. Infections of bacterial skin frequently begin as tiny, red bumps that increase in size slowly. A wide variety of germs cause skin infections, and symptoms can range from mild to severe. With over-the-counter medications and home remedies, mild infections may be treatable, while other infections may need medical attention.
