3. Skin Infections
Osteomyelitis is a health condition which is traditionally known for affecting the bone health, and if you have contracted the condition through any other type of infection somewhere in your body it’s likely that the infection could go and sit within the body’s bone structure – and this is where we get the condition that’s known as osteomyelitis. There are several infections and types of bacteria that can lead to developing osteomyelitis – sometimes even a combination of several, of which staphylococcus and salmonella can be only two.
Skin infections that are left untreated are one of the most commonly considered risk factors for developing osteomyelitis. If an infection on the skin is left untreated for a long period of time, it allows the infection to travel through to other parts of the body where it can cause a range of other complications for your health – including developing osteomyelitis or other infections.
