Cellulitis, also called erysipelas, is an acute infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by staphylococci or streptococci. A furuncle, or boil, is a localized staphylococcal infection that begins as an inflammation of a hair follicle (folliculitis) or a skin gland. Impetigo is a common, superficial infection caused by streptococci or Staphylococcus aureus that usually affects children. Acne vulgaris typically begins at puberty and is caused by a number of factors, including inherited predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, exposure to heat and humidity, and the use of oily creams. Fungal, or mycotic, infections such as tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), and tinea corporis (ringworm) are extremely common.
