Skin Infections in San Antonio, TX

Skin infections can develop for many reasons and often present as redness, itching, swelling, or visible skin changes. At Westover Hills Dermatology in San Antonio, TX, we help patients address a wide range of skin infections, including bacterial, viral, and fungal conditions. These infections may be caused by common organisms, like bacteria (including staph infection), viruses, or yeast and fungi, that affect the skin's surface. Whether you're dealing with a fungal infection on the skin, a yeast infection on skin folds, or more serious bacterial conditions, our team is here to offer diagnosis, treatment, and relief.

 

The treatment approach depends on the type of infection and its severity. Bacterial infections, such as impetigo or cellulitis, are typically treated with prescription antibiotic ointments or oral antibiotics. Viral skin infections, like cold sores or shingles, may require antiviral medications or supportive care. Fungal infections, including ringworm and candidiasis, are commonly treated with antifungal creams or oral medications. Our team will assess your symptoms and determine the most appropriate plan, ensuring that each patient receives safe and effective care tailored to their needs.

Symptoms vary, depending on the type of skin infection, but may include:

  • Redness, swelling, or warmth in the affected area
  • Itching, burning, or tenderness
  • Peeling, flaking, or crusted skin
  • Painful or pus-filled bumps
  • Fever or fatigue in more severe cases
