The skin is the body’s largest organ and is made of many layers. It is sensitive to both internal and external irritants and may become inflamed, infected, or injured when exposed to certain substances or extreme heat. Millions of Americans develop rashes, skin infections, and burns every year – many prompting visits to urgent care providers. Treatments are available to remedy these conditions and restore the skin to a healthy condition.
Did you know…
urgent care centers treat many types of conditions. Rashes, for example, are very common among patients of all ages and may appear on any area of the body for a number of reasons. The skin may also become irritated due to exposure to external substances, such as harsh chemicals or certain plants. Skin infections, on the other hand, are identified by isolated areas of the skin that are inflamed, hot, and tender to the touch. Burns are also common, resulting from exposure to hot water, the sun, fire, steam, or hot objects. Some patients may present with electrical burns or chemical burns.
How do we treat a burn?
Burns are first graded according to their depth of penetration. Some minor burns will heal by simply keeping the skin moisturized. Burns that are more serious may need to be cleaned and dressed with an antibiotic ointment. The burn will need to be regularly re-dressed and checked for signs of infection.
How do we treat a skin irritation, such as a rash or infection?
Skin irritations may be caused by a number of sources, each of which requires a different type of treatment. Infections are common and generally require a course of topical or oral antibiotics. Depending on your diagnosis, you may be prescribed a medicated cream, lotion, or oral medication to help clear up your skin condition.
