                            Most Asked Patient Questions

                            How do I know if my skin infection is serious?

                            Seek immediate care if you notice rapid spreading, fever, or significant pain. We provide quick evaluation to determine severity.

                            Do all skin infections need antibiotics?

                            Not all infections require antibiotics. We determine the appropriate treatment based on the type and severity of infection.

                            How long does treatment typically take?

                            Most skin infections show improvement within 48-72 hours of starting treatment, though complete resolution may take longer.

                            Can I spread my skin infection to others?

                            Some skin infections are contagious. We provide guidance on preventing transmission and protecting family members.

                            What should I do about recurring infections?

                            We help identify underlying causes and develop prevention strategies for chronic or recurring infections.
