Skin Infection Treatment in Knoxville, TN
Treatment of bacterial and fungal skin infections including cellulitis, impetigo, and fungal infections.
What is Skin Infection Treatment?
Skin infections can be bacterial (cellulitis, impetigo), fungal (athlete's foot, ringworm), or viral (herpes, shingles), causing redness, swelling, pain, drainage, or rashes. Untreated bacterial infections can spread to deeper tissues or bloodstream, becoming serious. Treatment options include topical or oral antibiotics for bacterial infections, antifungal medications for fungal infections, and antiviral medications for viral infections. It's important to see a doctor because they can identify the type of infection, prescribe appropriate medications, assess severity, and determine if the infection is spreading or requires specialist care. Your doctor will examine the affected area, potentially culture the infection, and prescribe targeted treatment.
