What Are Bacterial Infections?
Bacterial infections are a result of bacteria entering your body, multiplying, and causing an immune system response. Bacteria can enter the body through openings in the skin. Even a simple cut or minor surgical wound can be a breeding ground for bacteria and lead to serious illness.
There are many different types of infections that require antibiotic medications for treatment. These include but are not limited to the following dermatological concerns:
- Cellulitis
- Erysipelas
- Impetigo
- Folliculitis
- Furuncles
- Carbuncles
How Do Antibiotic Medications Work?
Antibiotic medications work by blocking vital processes in bacterial cells, thus stopping the infection from spreading through the rest of your body. This process gives your body a better chance of ridding your system of the infection. Typically, it takes several days to notice improvement.
What Are the Different Types?
These medications come in many different forms. The specific administration method for you will depend on your infection. When you visit our Mesa, Arizona office, we will work with you to find the best option. We offer a range of antibiotic therapeutic options, including:
- Tablets
- Capsules
- Liquids
- Creams
- Ointments
