What is it?
Secondary bacterial infection occurs when bacteria infect skin that is already damaged or inflamed due to another condition such as eczema, fungal infection, insect bites, wounds, scratching, or rashes. In children, it may appear as increased redness, swelling, pain, warmth, oozing, pus, crusting, or rapid worsening of an existing skin problem. Fever or discomfort may also be present in some cases.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on controlling the bacterial infection while also treating the underlying skin condition. The dermatologist examines the affected area to assess the extent and severity of infection. Management may include topical or oral antibiotics, wound care, and skin-soothing treatments, along with guidance on hygiene and itch control to prevent further infection.
