A pustular skin infection is a microbial disorder of the integumentary system characterized by the formation of pustules, which are discrete, circumscribed, elevated cutaneous lesions containing purulent exudate composed of necrotic debris and inflammatory neutrophils This clinical presentation encompasses both superficial and deep infections—predominantly caused by bacterial pathogens such as *Staphylococcus aureus* or *Streptococcus pyogenes*, as well as fungal or viral agents—and includes spe...

This clinical presentation encompasses both superficial and deep infections—predominantly caused by bacterial pathogens such as *Staphylococcus aureus* or *Streptococcus pyogenes*, as well as fungal or viral agents—and includes specific entities such as impetigo, folliculitis, furuncles, and carbuncles Affecting pediatric and adult populations alike, these infections typically manifest with localized erythema, tenderness, follicular or non-follicular pustular eruptions, and crusting, occasionall...

Affecting pediatric and adult populations alike, these infections typically manifest with localized erythema, tenderness, follicular or non-follicular pustular eruptions, and crusting, occasionally progressing to abscess formation or deeper tissue involvement if left untreated
