A skin graft can become infected due to several factors, including contamination during the surgical procedure, poor wound care, or compromised blood supply to the graft. Bacteria can enter the graft site through breaks in the skin or surrounding tissue, especially if proper hygiene is not maintained. Additionally, underlying health conditions or a weakened immune system can increase the risk of infection. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential to prevent complications and ensure successful graft healing.

What is a skin graft and how does it work?

A skin graft is a type of medical procedure in which skin is transplanted. It can be used to treat very large wounds or extensive burns. It can also be used to treat areas that have been infected and in which some skin has been lost. In addition, some surgeries require the removal of large areas of skin; skin grafts can be used to replace the skin that was removed. A partial-thickness graft involves the removal of just a layer of healthy skin to be placed on the grafting site. Full-thickness grafts involve cutting away an area of skin from a healthy section, to be placed at the graft site. There is a higher risk that this kind of graft will be rejected, but it is less painful and heals more quickly.

Will a snake's skin become infected if it doesn't shed?

A snake will shed. It may take longer for some than others. Normally it only takes 3 days after their eyes shed, but some could take a few weeks. Also, seeing as their skin is air-tight and encased, there is no way for it to become infected. If a tear is made in their old skin, their new skin will not become infected either unless you have it in conditions it should not be in.
