Can you tell the difference between erysipelas and cellulitis? Or wondered whether you’re looking at venous eczema or bilateral cellulitis? Deep bacterial skin infections can be elusive but worry not... 

In this jam-packed episode, Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson share their top tips for spotting some common and not so common deep bacterial skin infections along with their differential diagnosis. In just 20 short minutes they will be covering a staggering 17 bacterial infections, including:  

  • Erysipelas 
  • Cellulitis 
  • Venous Eczema 
  • Lymphangitis 
  • Erythrasma 
  • Henoch-Schönlein Purpura 
  • Scarlet Fever 
  • Syphilis 

Not only will this episode help you to identify these conditions, but it will also leave you with Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson's tried and tested treatment options.
