Bacterial skin infections

Bacterial skin infections occur when bacteria enter the skin through cuts or scratches and infect the underlying tissues. This leads to conditions such as cellulitis, impetigo ( a contagious skin infection that mainly affects infants and young children), folliculitis (a skin condition in which hair follicles become swollen) that are characterised by redness, warmth, swelling, itching and irritation of the skin. Clop-G Cream is used to kill bacteria and provide relief from symptoms associated with skin infections.
