SKIN INFECTIONS
Some skin infections are fairly common and can occur at all ages; others are found more often in older people. After injuries to the skin, such as cuts and burns, infections may occur. Sometimes a very small injury to the skin may allow an infection to enter and spread rapidly to the adjacent skin and cause cellulitis, in which the skin becomes very red and hot, Sometimes cellulitis can be very severe, requiring admission to the hospital and large doses of powerful antibiotics.
Infections with fungi and yeasts such as Candida albicans may lead to problems, especially in the groin area in people with diabetes mellitus. It can also occur in areas that become moist, such as in between skin folds in obese people or underneath breasts if they are not well supported. If you suffer from diabetes you must take extra special precautions to make sure that your diabetic control and your personal hygiene are good. If you do develop itching red and inflamed areas of skin, seek medical advice because it may be a sign that your diabetes is not well controlled and local treatment with antifungal and antiyeast ointments can quickly improve symptoms.
