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, 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.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Ariel Gilmore, NP. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. She took the time to listen to my goals, clearly explained my options, and recommended a treatment plan that was perfectly tailored to me. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about her patients and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend Ariel.
