What is it?
Bacterial skin infections occur when bacteria enter the skin through cuts, insect bites, or damaged skin barriers. In children, these infections may appear as red, swollen, painful areas, pus-filled sores, crusting, or rapidly spreading rashes. Common conditions include impetigo, boils, folliculitis, and abscesses. If left untreated, bacterial infections can worsen and spread to deeper layers of the skin.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on eliminating the bacterial infection and preventing complications. The dermatologist carefully examines the affected area to assess severity. Treatment may include topical or oral antibiotics, wound care, and soothing medications to reduce pain and inflammation. Parents are also guided on hygiene and wound management to stop the infection from spreading.
