Cellulitis and Skin Infections

Skin infections such as cellulitis occur when bacteria enter through a break in the skin, leading to redness, swelling, warmth, and pain. These infections can spread quickly if untreated and require immediate medical attention. Hastings Medical Clinic offers comprehensive care for cellulitis and other skin infections by diagnosing the severity and prescribing appropriate antibiotics or therapies. Our goal is to reduce infection rapidly while preventing complications and promoting full skin recovery. The personalized care we provide ensures you regain comfort and confidence in your skin’s health.

Cellulitis and skin infections arise when harmful bacteria invade damaged skin areas. At Hastings Medical Clinic, we start with a detailed examination to assess the infection’s extent and identify the bacterial cause. Treatment typically involves oral or topical antibiotics, and in severe cases, intravenous therapy or wound care may be required. Our healthcare professionals monitor progress closely to adjust treatments as needed, ensuring infection control and minimizing scarring. Educating patients on wound care and prevention plays a key role in avoiding future infections and maintaining healthy skin.
