Glossary Pyoderma

bacterial skin infection with pus-filled lesions

Pyoderma is a bacterial skin infection characterized by the presence of pus-filled lesions. It can occur when bacteria, such as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus, invade the skin through cuts, abrasions, or other breaches in the skin barrier. This condition can range from superficial infections like impetigo to deeper, more severe infections like cellulitis.
