Understanding soft tissue infection
A soft tissue infection involves the skin and the tissue just beneath it, for example an infected cut, boil, abscess or cellulitis, and it can spread if left untreated.
Why soft tissue infection happens
Bacteria get in through a cut, bite, scrape, insect bite or blister. Sweat, shaving, sea water, small skin injuries and diabetes raise the risk.
How soft tissue infection is treated
The doctor looks at the area on camera, judges how serious it is, prescribes an antibiotic where appropriate and arranges drainage or in-person review for an abscess or spreading infection. Treatment can involve antibiotics, wound care and, for an abscess, drainage arranged in person.
