The World Health Organization has released a report which says that 24 percent of patients die every year due to viruses and bacteria present in hospitals around the world.
They found that, for five patients with a skin condition, the bacteria-rich lotion protected them against infections by destroying harmful germs on their skin.
Our skin is the most sensitive part of our body and we usually suffer from rashes and other infections especially during monsoons because of damp, warm and humid climate.
While more young men and women are getting inked today than ever, researchers have warned that bacterial infections may happen in up to five per cent of cases, especially when the tattooing was carried out in unhygienic settings.
Patients with skin infections are less likely to take all their prescribed antibiotic doses after leaving the hospital, resulting in new infection or needing additional treatment for the existing skin infection, says a study.
