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
Absolutely love this clinic and their staff! Dr young Valerie and Ariel changed my life. Due to thyroid issues I gained an extra 30 lbs. With their guidance and medication and care I was able to lose that and 20 extra so 50 lbs in total! So worth the money, my cholesterol and blood pressure went down, I was making healthier food choices and all in all my life is just better! Having met my goal weight I was able to taper down my dose! Love coming to see them! Do something good for yourself and your health, go see them. There are plenty of other places that are advertising compounded semaglutide but they get theirs from a reputable compounding pharmacy and actually care about their patients! With their membership it is very affordable and they also provide primary care for me, without any co pays. Cannot recommend them enough!
I have been going here for almost 2 years and have lost over 110 lbs. Ariel and Valarie closely monitor my health each month which helps me ensure that I’m losing weight the right way while gaining muscle mass. So glad I found this local, professional office!
Actually listened. Got an answer I've been looking for, for years, in two visits. Direct, to the point, knowledgeable.
In and out at a reasonable time, Dr Young was very friendly and personable. Got all of my concerns taken care of and gave me some great recommendations of places to ride motorcycles with my wife and I. Overall a great experience!
Really great listener and explains everything really thoroughly!
