Skin infections Q&A

Your skin helps protect you from germs, but sometimes, especially if there is a cut or wound on the skin, it can get infected by them. Some common types of skin infections are


  • Bacterial Infections: such as impetigo, folliculitis, or Staphylococcal infection
  • Viral: Shingles, warts, and herpes simplex, cold sores or fever blisters
  • Fungal: Athlete’s foot, ringworm, yeast infections, and seborrheic dermatitis.
  • Parasitic: Body lice, head lice, and scabies, worms

Treatment of skin infections depends on the cause. Our providers may recommend a prescription topical or oral medication.  If you experience a rash or skin infection that does not go away on its own after a few weeks, make an appointment to see one of our experts at Annexus Dermatology & Aesthetics to have it properly diagnosed and treated.  Call the office and speak with a friendly staff member or book a consultation online toda
