****Erysipelas is a superficial bacterial skin infection that characteristically extends into the cutaneous lymphatics. This disease has been traced back to the Middle Ages where it was referred to as "St Anthony’s Fire," named after an Egyptian healer who was known for successfully treating the infection. Classically, this infection is caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and occurs on the face.
