A common, minor skin infection can be treated at an urgent care clinic. However, there are some instances when a more serious case must be treated at the ER, so it’s important to be able to identify the signs and symptoms of infections, especially serious ones. We’d like to help you with this, so here is everything you need to know about emergency and urgent care for skin infections in Davie FL.
You definitely can, yes, and you should consider it! Many rashes can be treated at home, but more severe and persistent rashes might require professional care at an urgent care clinic. There you’ll be able to get immediate treatment and symptom relief without the need for an appointment. You should come to us here at Quick Family Urgent Care if your rash:
• Doesn’t go away or gets worse after you treat it yourself
• Becomes worse and makes you quite uncomfortable
• Lasts longer than a week
• Has already been diagnosed but is lasting longer than expected, or not healing as expected
• Produces symptoms like fever or illness, or shows signs of infection
There are several signs of a skin infection that you should look out for. Here’s what we suggest you watch for:
• A fever
• If you have a cut, fluid, or pus that leaks out from it
• If you have a cut, a red streak that runs from the cut toward your heart
• If you have an injury, red skin around the area
• A pimple or some yellow-colored crust on top of the area
• Sores that look similar to blisters
• If you have eczema and have tried to treat it, the treatment didn’t work or it made the rash worse
• After a few days, worsening pain or worsening swelling
• After around ten days, the area still hasn’t healed
Most skin infections can be treated at urgent care, but some might require a trip to the ER.
There are some instances when you must go to the ER (emergency room) for a skin infection. The particular signs and symptoms you should watch out for include the following:
• You also have a fever of 100 degrees or more
• You are experiencing significant pain
• The redness and/or swelling spreads
