Human skin is composed of different layers that provide different types of protection. It is known as the first line of defense against infection. The skin epidermis or outermost skin layer acts as the shield for the entry of various infectious microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, yeasts, fungi, and parasites that are found in the outside environment. A skin infection takes place when a microbe invades the skin through any wound or cut. After diagnosing the type of infection, Dr. Rasya Dixit provides effective treatment for skin infections by prescribing proper medications for killing or inhibiting bacterial growth, antifungals for fungal infections, or antiviral drugs for viral skin infections.
