Skin Infection Treatment in Beverly Hills
Bacterial skin infections range from a minor, easily treated irritation to conditions that require prompt medical attention. Redness that’s spreading, increasing pain, or a fever alongside a new skin lesion are signs the issue is more than superficial. At Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, our Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists provide prompt diagnosis and treatment to keep a localized infection from becoming a bigger problem.
Common Types of Skin Infections
Bacterial skin infections can present in several ways, including:
- Impetigo, a superficial, highly contagious infection common in children
- Cellulitis, a deeper infection that causes spreading redness, warmth, and swelling
- Folliculitis, infection or inflammation of the hair follicles
- Staph and MRSA infections, which can range from a single boil to more extensive involvement
Because several of these can look alike in their early stages, an accurate diagnosis, sometimes supported by a culture, determines which antibiotic will actually work.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection. Options include:
- Topical antibiotics for localized, superficial infections
- Oral antibiotics for deeper or more extensive infections
- Wound culture to identify the specific organism and guide antibiotic selection
- Wound care guidance to support healing and prevent spread
When to Seek Immediate Care
Certain signs mean a skin infection needs same-day attention rather than a routine appointment: rapidly spreading redness, significant pain, fever, or red streaking extending from the affected area. Our physicians prioritize evaluation for patients describing these symptoms, since bacterial infections can progress quickly once they move beyond the surface layer of skin.
Are You a Candidate?
Any patient with a new area of redness, swelling, warmth, or drainage should be evaluated, particularly if the area is growing or painful. Schedule a consultation at our Beverly Hills practice for prompt diagnosis and the right antibiotic for what’s actually causing the infection.
