A member asked:
Why is my skin thick and rough after having a staph infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: A staph infection of the skin leads to a lot of inflammation under the surface. When inflammation occurs in the skin, the natural response is for the skin to thicken and then as the problem resolves, the thickened skin will start to dry and peel, giving it a rough texture.
