Medical Dermatology - Quick Diagnosis. Targeted Treatment. Visible Relief.
Infectious & Viral Skin Conditions
From viral breakouts to bacterial rashes, skin infections can appear suddenly and spread quickly. They may be itchy, painful, or cause cosmetic concern — and in some cases, lead to complications if left untreated. At On the Spot Dermatology, we’re here to help you find relief fast with prompt diagnosis and in-office treatments when needed.
We treat a wide range of common infectious skin conditions for both children and adults. Whether it’s a stubborn wart, a red ring-like rash, or a breakout that just won’t go away, our team can help.
When to Seek Treatment
- The infection is spreading or worsening
- It’s painful, itchy, or cosmetically bothersome
- Over-the-counter treatments haven’t worked
- You’re unsure if a lesion is contagious
- You want to avoid scarring or transmission to others
How We Can Help
We diagnose infectious conditions based on appearance and clinical expertise, and provide:
- Prescription topical or oral medications
- Cryotherapy for warts or molluscum
- Antifungal or antiviral therapy
- In-office cultures or biopsies if needed
- Gentle removal techniques when appropriate
Our goal is to treat the infection quickly, reduce the risk of spreading, and restore your skin’s health with minimal disruption.
Infectious & Viral Skin Conditions We Treat
We diagnose and treat a wide range of infectious and viral skin conditions, including:
Warts (Verruca Vulgaris)
Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), warts are rough, raised growths that often appear on hands, feet, or other areas. They may spread through contact or self-transfer. Treatment options include cryotherapy (freezing), topical medications, or removal procedures.
Molluscum Contagiosum
A viral skin infection that causes small, dome-shaped bumps with a central dimple. Most common in children, but also seen in adults. It’s contagious through skin-to-skin contact. Treatments include cryotherapy or topical solutions to speed resolution.
Herpes Simplex (Cold Sores)
Small, painful blisters typically appearing around the mouth, caused by HSV-1. Triggers include stress, sun exposure, or illness. While there’s no cure, antiviral medications can reduce severity, duration, and frequency of outbreaks.
Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
A reactivation of the chickenpox virus that causes a painful, blistering rash usually on one side of the body or face. Early antiviral treatment can reduce symptoms and the risk of long-term nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia).
Impetigo
A contagious bacterial skin infection, common in children, that causes red sores or honey-colored crusts, usually around the nose and mouth. Treated with prescription antibiotic creams or oral antibiotics depending on severity.
Ringworm (Tinea Corporis)
A fungal infection that causes red, ring-shaped patches with clearer centers. It’s contagious and spreads through skin contact or contaminated surfaces. Treated with antifungal creams or oral medications in more stubborn cases.
Tinea Versicolor
A fungal overgrowth that interferes with normal skin pigmentation, leading to patches that may be lighter or darker than surrounding skin. Often appears on the chest, back, or shoulders. Treated with antifungal shampoos or prescriptions.
Nail Fungus (Onychomycosis)
Thickened, discolored, or brittle nails caused by fungal infection. It’s difficult to treat without prescription antifungal medications, and may take several months to clear completely. Prompt treatment helps prevent further nail damage.
