Ouch! The skin youâ€™re in can be plagued by a variety of conditions that itch, ooze, sting, and burn. To help keep your skin healthy, itâ€™s important to take good care of it.

"The skin is designed to be your wall against the outside environment," say Doris Day, MD, a dermatologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "But if there is an opportunity to get through the skin, viruses and bacteria will try very hard to do so."

When too-small-to-see viruses or bacteria gets under the skin and past its powerful immune defenses, an infection can result. While they're certainly not pleasant to cope with, these contagious disorders are treatable.
