From that weird red spot that popped up overnight to the itchy rash that won’t quit, skin infections come in all shapes, sizes, and degrees of panic. Whether it’s bacterial, fungal, viral, or something in between, one thing’s for sure: your skin is trying to tell you something—and at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, we’re fluent in skin SOS.
Skin infections can happen to anyone, even the cleanest, most lotion-loving among us. Sometimes they’re caused by everyday bacteria or fungi getting into a cut or pore. Other times, they’re the result of viruses like herpes simplex or shingles. Left untreated, even a small infection can turn into something more serious—so the earlier we catch it, the faster we can clear it up.
We diagnose and treat a full range of skin infections, including impetigo, cellulitis, folliculitis, ringworm (tinea), athlete’s foot, yeast infections, cold sores, warts, and molluscum contagiosum. Treatment may include topical or oral antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, or minor in-office procedures to drain or remove lesions.
Redness, swelling, pain, warmth, pus, or a rash that’s spreading are all potential signs of infection. If something’s getting worse instead of better—or has you Googling things you’d rather not see—it’s time to see a professional. We’ll assess it, swab it if needed, and get you started on the right treatment fast.
We treat a wide range, including:
Many of them can be—especially fungal and viral types. That’s why early diagnosis and treatment are important, not just for your skin but to help protect those around you (looking at you, shared yoga mats and towels).
We’ll examine the area and may take a culture, skin scraping, or biopsy to identify what’s going on. Accurate diagnosis means more targeted treatment—and a faster return to clear, healthy skin.
Depending on the cause, we may prescribe topical creams, oral medications, or perform an in-office procedure (like drainage or cryotherapy). We’ll also recommend supportive skincare and hygiene practices to help speed up healing and prevent recurrence.
Mild irritation might respond to OTC creams, but if your skin is painful, worsening, or spreading, it’s best to skip the DIY detour and come see us. Treating the wrong type of infection with the wrong product can actually make things worse.
Don’t wait for it to “go away on its own.” Book your appointment at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA and let us help your skin recover quickly, safely, and with as little drama as possible.
We would love to hear from you.
