Molluscum Contagiosum is a contagious viral skin infection common in young children, causing small pearly bumps with central dimples that usually resolve on their own over time.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease spread through respiratory droplets, causing fever, cough, red eyes, and rash, with potentially severe complications that can be effectively prevented by the MMR vaccine.
Roseola Infantum is a common viral illness in children under 2 years old, causing 3–5 days of high fever followed by a pink rash that resolves on its own with supportive care.
Herpes zoster (shingles) is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus causing painful, one-sided blistering rash and can spread through direct contact, with serious complications requiring medical attention if affecting the face or nerves.
Most people gain lasting immunity after Varicella, but the virus can remain dormant and later reactivate as Herpes Zoster; vaccination and proper care help reduce risks and complications.
Varicella (chickenpox) is a highly contagious viral infection causing fever and itchy fluid-filled rashes in multiple stages, usually self-limiting but sometimes requiring antiviral treatment in high-risk patients.
Prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treatment of erysipelas and cellulitis are crucial to prevent severe complications like bloodstream infection, especially in high-risk groups.
Erysipelas and cellulitis are bacterial skin infections (commonly caused by Group A Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Haemophilus influenzae) that enter through skin breaks, causing rapidly spreading red, swollen, painful lesions, especially in infants, young children, and the elderly.
Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection in young children causing fever, sore throat, strawberry tongue, and a sandpaper-like rash, treated with antibiotics to prevent serious complications.
Impetigo is a contagious bacterial skin infection (commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus) that enters through broken skin, causing fluid-filled blisters that turn into pus and yellow crusts, spreading easily by contact.
