Treatment of Bacterial Skin Infections
There is no "one treatment fits all" nor is there a "one pill cures all" approach to Chinese medicine. Each person’s situation is as unique and as dynamic as they, themselves, are. Therefore, with each visit the patient is assessed and treated according to the syndrome differentiation. Your herbal formula will always be prescribed based on your own syndromes so as to suit the remedy to the case. At TCM Window, we offer relaxing treatments and expert guidance through the whole process. We specialize in different kinds of chronic and difficult miscellaneous diseases, we offer the best possible care in a peaceful and welcoming environment.

Treatment of Bacterial Skin Infections
Treatment of bacterial skin infections will depend on their severity. For a small occurrence of some infections, for example, an at-home treatment might be enough. However, for contagious or more widespread infections, medical treatment may be necessary.

Cellulitis should be treated by a doctor because it can spread to other areas of the body, including the brain if the infection is present on the face. Treatment includes:

Antibiotics
Applying warm, wet dressings to the infected area
Rest
Elevating the infected area if possible

Mild infections are normally treated at home with antibiotic pills, but more severe infections might require intravenous antibiotics delivered at a hospital.

Mild folliculitis normally clears up in less than two weeks, but you can apply warm compresses to help relieve itching. If there's no change after three days or if the infection appears to have spread, you should seek a doctor's help. More severe infections require antibiotics.

To clear up a pesky boil, apply a warm, wet compress to the area, which will bring the pus to the surface. Do not pop the boil; instead, wait for it to burst on its own because interference can make the infection worse. Be sure to wash the wound regularly with antibacterial soap until it heals. A doctor may be able to drain large boils or carbuncles surgically, which can reduce scarring. The doctor also might prescribe antibiotics to help with infections that are severe or difficult to eliminate.

Impetigo requires treatment by a doctor because it can be contagious. Treatment includes an antibiotic cream for mild infections or antibiotic pills for more severe infections. With proper treatment, the sores will generally heal in about seven days. You are usually not considered contagious if you have been under treatment for 48 hours or more
