| A '''skin infection''' can be differentiated according to the depth of the infection into the [[Skin#Skin layers|skin layers]] ([[epidermis]], [[dermis]] and [[subcutaneous tissue]]).
| |
| | |
| * [[Impetigo]]: high contagious superficial skin infection that affects the epidermis; it is most common among children age 2–6 years. It is classified as bullous and non-bullous, being the latter the most common presentation of impetigo.<ref name="Rook's Textbook of Dermatology">{{cite book | last = Rook | first = Arthur | title = Rook's textbook of dermatology | publisher = Wiley-Blackwell | location = Chichester, West Sussex, UK Hoboken, NJ | year = 2010 | isbn = 1405161698 }}</ref>

| ** Bullous impetigo: small vesicles that enlarge to a bullae, commonly associated with S. aureus infection
| |
| ** Non-bullous impetigo: characteristic "honey-crust" lesions, can be caused by S. aureus or Streptococi.
| |
| | |
| * [[Ecthyma]]: severe form of impetigo with ulceration of the epidermis and formation of crust. The legs, thighs and buttocks are the areas most commonly affected.
| |
| | |
| * [[Erysipela]]: superficial skin infection with a clear line of demarcation between involved and uninvolved tissue and raised lesions above the level of the surrounding skin; affects the epidermis and upper dermis.<ref name="Rook's Textbook of Dermatology">{{cite book | last = Rook | first = Arthur | title = Rook's textbook of dermatology | publisher = Wiley-Blackwell | location = Chichester, West Sussex, UK Hoboken, NJ | year = 2010 | isbn = 1405161698 }}</ref> <ref name="IDSA">{{Cite journal
