Learn about how skin infections can be diagnosed and treated with a virtual appointment.
Skin infections can be uncomfortable and potentially serious. It is important to seek medical treatment if you think you have one. Fortunately, virtual care is an effective and convenient way to receive treatment for a skin infection from the comfort of your own home.
There are many different types of skin infections, and the treatment for each one will depend on the specific cause and severity of the infection. Some common types of skin infections include bacterial infections, fungal infections, and viral infections.
If you think you have a skin infection, the first step is to try to identify the cause. Look for any potential triggers, such as cuts or scrapes that may have become infected, or exposure to certain materials or chemicals. This information can be helpful in determining the best course of treatment.
If the infection is spreading rapidly or causing severe symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Virtual care can be a great option for getting quick and accurate medical advice. If you have had an injury causing the infection, you should ensure that your tetanus vaccine is up to date, having been boosted in the last ten years. If not, ensure that you present in-person to a facility for a vaccine booster.
During a virtual care appointment, you will have the opportunity to talk with a doctor about your skin infection and any other relevant medical history. The doctor will ask you questions about your symptoms, such as when the infection started, what it looks like, and whether you have any other symptoms. They may also ask you about any potential triggers or causes.The doctor may ask you to provide photos of the affected area so they can get a better understanding of what is going on. These can be sent securely using Rocket Doctor’s platform for both video and live-chat appointments. Based on this information, the doctor will be able to make a diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan.
The doctor may recommend a course of treatment, such as topical creams or medications to help clear up the infection. They may also recommend taking certain precautions, such as keeping the affected area clean and dry, to prevent the infection from spreading or worsening.
If the doctor thinks your skin infection may be caused by a more serious underlying condition, they may recommend that you seek in-person medical attention. They may also recommend that you follow up with them via another virtual care appointment to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Rocket Doctor offers a convenient and effective way to receive treatment for a skin infection, particularly if the infection is not severe or spreading rapidly. It can save you time and hassle by allowing you to receive treatment from the comfort of your own home.
If you think you have a skin infection and are not sure how to treat it, don’t hesitate to book an appointment. With proper treatment, most skin infections will resolve on their own within a few days to a week. So, it is always better to get the right treatment at the right time to avoid any complications.
