Skin Infections: How to Know When It’s Serious (and What to Do)

Skin infection? Learn what’s treatable virtually and when to see a doctor in person.

Redness, swelling, pus, or warmth on your skin? You might have a skin infection. These include cellulitis, folliculitis, impetigo, or infected cuts or insect bites.

HLTHi providers can evaluate your symptoms through a virtual visit and prescribe oral or topical antibiotics when appropriate. For mild to moderate infections, virtual care is a fast and effective solution.

We’ll also help you recognize signs that require in-person care, like spreading redness, fever, or drainage. Catching infections early can prevent more serious complications.
