Skin infections in children are common yet concerning occurrences. Our urgent care is dedicated to diagnosing and treating these conditions efficiently and professionally while minimizing discomfort for the child.

Diagnosis

Early detection is crucial in the successful management of pediatric skin infections.

Symptoms of skin infection include:

  • redness
  • swelling
  • warmth
  • itchiness

Certain serious infections may present with systemic symptoms such as fever and lethargy. Our team of qualified healthcare professionals is skilled in identifying the different types and causes of skin infections in children.

Treatment

Treatment for pediatric skin infections largely depends on the identified cause. Our healthcare team may prescribe a course of antibiotics, antiviral, antifungal, or topical medications, depending on the type and severity of the infection. In some cases, minor surgical intervention may be required. Regardless of the treatment plan, our team is committed to delivering the highest standard of care for your child, ensuring their comfort at all times while diligently monitoring their progress.

PedsNOW is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and treatments to ensure the best outcomes for your child. We understand that dealing with a skin infection can be an anxiety-inducing experience, but with our team’s expertise and dedication, you can be confident that your child will receive the best possible care. Walk-ins are welcome, or you can reserve a spot online to save time. We are here to help.

Lastly, you’ll find that the wait time at PedsNOW is generally much shorter than you’ll experience at most urgent care clinics. While general urgent care centers might see a broad array of patients, from the elderly to adults with complex medical conditions, pediatric urgent care centers solely focus on treating children. This not only allows for more targeted care but also usually results in shorter wait times, ensuring that your child receives swift and effective medical attention.
