Cutaneous Leishmaniasis is a skin infection caused by the parasites of the genus Leishmania, transmitted through the bites of infected sandflies. It primarily affects the skin, leading to sores or ulcers that can be painful and may leave scars. The condition is most common in tropical and subtropical regions. Diagnosis is typically made through clinical examination and laboratory tests. Treatment options include medications such as antimonials or miltefosine, which help to clear the infection. Preventive measures focus on reducing exposure to sandflies, such as using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing.
