A large diversity of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Streptococcus viridians, and Streptococcus pyogenes are responsible for these infections. Patients with poor sanitation, less resistance or weak immune systems and close contact with patient having skin diseases are prone to get affected.

Commonly used topical agents include bacitracin, cefazolin, ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, impenem, mupirocin, neomycin, polymyxin, retapamulin, and benzoyl peroxide. The U.S is a large market for neosporin which is a combination of antibiotics neomycin, bacitracin and polymyxin-B, although its use has decreased since, it was observed to increase occurrence of the lethal methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA) infections. Several antibiotics require high concentrations for gaining ability to completely remove bacteria from skin surface. Systemic absorption of mupirocin and retapamulin through skin is very low in cases of undamaged skin. However, adverse effects such as nephrotoxicity and irreversible ototoxicity is witnessed in case of absorption of bacitracin and neomycin and is strictly avoided in cases of burns and deep injuries.
