Introduction: Erysipelas is a pathological condition resulting from skin infection, often triggered by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes. The disease can be triggered by several factors, including vulnerability in the skin barrier, poor blood circulation, immunological compromise and lymphatic disorders, thus highlighting the importance of a holistic approach in preventing this skin infection. Objective: To understand the contamination of erysipelas and the incidence of lesions caused by bacterial infection. Methodology: The Pubmed, Cochrane and MedLine databases were used, searching for articles published between 2015 and 2023, in Portuguese or English. Conclusion: Immediate and adequate medical follow-up is essential for better treatment and recovery from erysipelas, which despite not being a contagious disease, can promote skin complications from the emergence of a new infectious agent.
