What Are Skin Infections?
Skin infections can be uncomfortable and often leave you unsure of the cause or the best treatment approach. At Younger Medical Health and Wellness in Queen Creek and Scottsdale, AZ, our dedicated team provides care for a variety of skin issues, including burns, rashes, and skin infections. Skin infections occur when harmful germs, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, enter the skin and cause illness. These infections can vary in severity, from mild irritations to more serious conditions. Symptoms may include a small rash or skin irritation, but if left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to more severe complications.
How Are Skin Infections Treated?
Treatment for skin infections at Younger Medical Health and Wellness depends on the type of infection — whether it's viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic — and its severity. After an examination, our medical professionals will recommend the most effective skin infection treatments. These may include over-the-counter medications, prescription antibiotics, antifungal ointments, or other targeted therapies. If burns or rashes are involved, we tailor the treatment based on the specific cause and level of severity. Rashes resulting from allergic reactions, for example, may be treated with antihistamines and steroid creams to help with itching and inflammation while burns might require antibiotic creams and specialized care based on the degree of injury.
What Are the Symptoms of Skin Infections?
Symptoms of skin infections can vary, depending on the type and severity of the infection. Common signs to look out for include:
- Redness or discoloration of the skin
- Swelling or inflammation
- Itching or irritation
- A rash or small bumps
- Blisters or open sores
- Oozing or pus from the affected area
- Pain or tenderness
- Fever (in more serious infections)
If you notice any of these skin infection symptoms, it's important to seek treatment promptly to prevent complications.
Younger Medical Health and Wellness Reviews
Doctor Young is transparent, professional, personable, open and honest. He will work with you and give you the one on one time necessary to solve your challenges. Doctor Young will give you the respect you deserve.
Dr Young has a wonderful manner. I don’t feel rushed and I believe he genuinely cares about my wellbeing. My only negative is the lack of a smile or a pleasant well coming from the front desk person. It would be nice to be greeted in a friendly fashion.
Amazing people skills and he helped me so much
