4. Burn Like Marks
The appearance of burn like marks is not a very common instance of a staph infection. However, this does occur. In these cases, the staph bacteria may start staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. This is referred to as SSSS. In cases of staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome the individual that is affected by the bacteria will develop blisters on the skin. When the blisters burst, the top layer of the skin is removed.
This will leave the area of the skin raw and red and looks like it is burned. This symptom of a staph infection is most common in young children and babies. If you notice that your baby has blisters that appear like a burn mark when they burst it is important to talk to your doctor away so that treatment can be started as soon as possible. If left untreated, the infection can spread even further and cause more health issues.
