Bacterial skin infections, such as cellulitis, impetigo, and folliculitis, can arise from various risk factors. Key contributors include compromised skin barriers, often due to cuts, abrasions, or pre-existing skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Poor hygiene practices can increase exposure to bacteria, particularly in crowded environments. Individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with diabetes or undergoing immunosuppressive treatments, are also at higher risk. Additionally, certain lifestyle factors, including excessive sweating or wearing tight clothing, can create a favorable environment for bacterial growth. Maintaining good skin hygiene, promptly treating injuries, and managing underlying health conditions are essential preventive measures in dermatology and cosmetology to minimize the risk of these infections.
