SKIN INFECTIONS

Introduction

Skin infections can often spread quickly without medical attention. With the help of dermatologist, Dr. Faryal Siddiqui, La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic is proud to offer treatments for skin infections to men and women in San Diego, Encinitas, La Mesa, El Cajon, and surrounding areas of California.

What Are Skin Infections?

Skin infections are exactly what they sound like. These infections are caused by a wide range of germs and can affect the skin in a variety of ways. The four most common types of skin infections include:

Bacterial skin infections. These infections typically start with small bumps but spread rapidly. Common bacterial infections include boils and cellulitis.
Viral skin infections. Viral infections can take shape in a variety of forms and typically don’t get associated with an infection. Common viral infections include chickenpox, warts and molluscum, and shingles.
Fungal skin infections. Fungal infections are typically spread from one person to another and are typically contracted in warm, moist environments. Common fungal infections include athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and nail infections.
Parasitic infections. These infections are caused by a parasite. While none of these infections are deadly, they are uncomfortable and can be hard to treat. Common parasitic infections include bedbugs, lice, and scabies.

What Causes Skin Infections?

The cause of a skin infection ultimately depends on the type of injection a patient has. While each skin infection may have a unique source, they are commonly spread from one person to another through skin-on-skin contact or contact with the same environment and clothing. To reduce the risk of contracting a skin infection, we often recommend our patients wash and sanitize their hands frequently and wear protective footwear in communal environments.

How Do I Know If I Have a Skin Infection?

While skin infections may look different from person to person, we often encourage our patients to be aware of the following:

The appearance of blisters
Itching lesions
Burning sensations
Pain and tenderness
Puss-like lesions

If you believe you have a skin infection, we encourage you to come in for a private consultation with Dr. Siddiqui and the expert medical team at La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. We’ll be happy to sit down with you, listen to your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your diagnosis to help you achieve the beautiful, healthy skin you deserve.

How Are Skin Infections Treated?

Because everyone’s body is different, each skin infection treatment will be tailored to the patient. Treatment for your skin infection may include oral or topical antibiotics. During your private consultation, Dr. Siddiqui will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you treat your skin infection and achieve the beautiful, healthy skin you deserve.

Schedule A Consultation

“I could not have had a better first impression of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic. I spoke with three practitioners at my appointment, who were all extremely friendly and professional. I never felt pressured to purchase any product/service. In fact, the doctor suggested I hold off on a service I was interested in to see if it was even necessary. I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment”

“This was my first time here and my first time getting Botox and let me tell you Dr. Mani and her team is amazing. Coming into it I was extremely nervous bc I’ve never gotten any non surgical procedures done before so I didn’t know what to expect. But when Dr Mani and her team came in I got extremely calm and ready and let me tell you she is amazing and super quick! Didn’t feel a pinch!”
