Staph Infection Symptoms and Causes

Staph Infection Symptoms and Causes

Eruptions on the face or upper body. Staph infections can occasionally manifest as eruptions or sores on the face or upper body (such a condition being known as impetigo). When on the face, these eruptions are usually sited around the mouth or around the nostrils. They burst easily and dry into a crusty yellow residue. The infected region may itch, and sometimes hurts, but not always so. If a sufferer scratches at the affected areas or tries to remove the residue, this may leave permanent blemishes, and hence, is strong to be advised against.
