Please click on the specific skin and soft-tissue infections below for further information.
| Anatomic Layers of the Skin | Condition | Definition† | Image | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Epidermis | Impetigo | Superficial pyogenic infection of the skin which usually begins as vesicles with a very thin, fragile roof consisting only of stratum corneum. | 
|
|
Dermis | Erysipelas | Infection of the upper dermis including the superficial lymphatics which typically presents as an indurated, "peau d’orange" lesion with a raised border that is demarcated from uninvolved skin. | 
|
| Folliculitis | Inflammation and/or infection of the hair follicle in which suppuration presents in the epidermis. | 
| ||
| Furuncle (Boil) |
Infection of the hair follicle in which suppuration extends through the dermis into the subcutaneous tissue. Each lesion consists of a deep-seated inflammatory nodule and an overlying pustule through which hair emerges. | 
| ||
| Carbuncle | Infection of several adjacent hair follicles, producing a coalescent inflammatory mass with pus draining from multiple follicular orifices. | 
| ||
| Cellulitis | Acute spreading infection of the deeper dermis and the subcutaneous tissue which lacks sharp demarcation from uninvolved skin. | 
| ||
|
Subcutaneous Tissue | |||
| Necrotizing Fasciitis |
Rapidly progressive infection of deep fascia associated with bullae and necrosis of underlying skin. | 
| ||
|
Muscle | Myonecrosis (Gas Gangrene) |
Rapidly progressive toxemic infection of injured muscle, producing marked edema, crepitus, and brown bullae, characterized by extensive gaseous dissection of muscle and fascial planes on radiography. | 
|

A cutaneous abscess could occur at multiple locations.
Patients who require hospitalization for ICU admission, operating room surgical intervention, or death have one of the following six risk factors upon presentation[4]:
- abnormal cross-sectional imaging result
- systemic inflammatory response syndrome
- previous infection at the same location
- infection involving the hand
- diabetes
- age >65 years
