Meaning and Origin:
Erysipelas is a bacterial skin infection that causes redness and inflammation near the surface of the skin. The name "erysipelas" accurately describes the appearance of the infection, as the affected area becomes visibly red.
The infection is caused by bacteria, typically Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus), which invade the skin through a break or opening, such as a cut or scrape. The bacteria then multiply and spread rapidly through the superficial layers of the skin, causing inflammation and redness.
Erysipelas is a relatively common infection, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems, such as the elderly or those with diabetes. It typically affects the face, legs, or arms and can be painful and uncomfortable.
