Infectious Skin Diseases
Infectious skin diseases are some of the most common conditions seen in dermatology, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. They are caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites that breach the skin barrier. These problems can range from mild irritations to severe, highly contagious disorders. For many, the first signs appear as face diseases skin conditions — visible patches, rashes, or lesions that can cause embarrassment and discomfort. Others may develop body diseases skin problems hidden under clothing, which can still be uncomfortable, painful, and potentially dangerous if left untreated.

At rtwskin clinic, we understand that these conditions impact not only your skin but also your confidence, comfort, and quality of life. That is why we combine advanced medical expertise with state-of-the-art technology, including laser therapies, to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of dermatological infections effectively and safely.
We offer comprehensive care for infectious diseases of the skin, from bacterial outbreaks and skin viruses like warts and cold sores, to fungal infections and parasitic infestations. We address both acute and chronic cases, focusing on clearing the infection, restoring skin health, and preventing future recurrences through tailored treatment and practical advice.
What Problems Does the Service Solve
Infectious skin conditions can cause far more than just physical symptoms — they can affect every aspect of daily life. Persistent itching, burning sensations, swelling, or visible discolouration can make it uncomfortable to wear certain clothes, take part in social activities, or even sleep properly. For some, the embarrassment of having a visible skin infection on face or hands leads to avoiding public situations, which can impact confidence and emotional wellbeing.
Our treatments are designed to relieve discomfort quickly and address the root cause of the problem, whether it’s a small infection under skin like a boil, stubborn fungal nail discolouration, or inflamed rashes on exposed areas. By treating the infection effectively, we not only restore skin health but also stop it from spreading to other areas of your body or to people around you — a vital step for highly contagious conditions such as warts, impetigo, or ringworm.
We also focus on the aesthetic outcome, ensuring the skin looks and feels as natural as possible after recovery.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
Successful treatment of infectious skin diseases is about more than just clearing the visible symptoms. At rtwskin, we aim to eliminate the infection completely, allowing the skin to heal properly and regain its natural texture and tone. This often means that with the right care and lifestyle adjustments, results can last for many months or even years without recurrence.
We provide detailed aftercare guidance, from hygiene measures to skin protection routines, to help you maintain the results. For chronic or seasonal infections, such as recurrent fungal nail problems or cold sores, we adapt treatment plans to provide timely support when flare-ups are most likely.
This flexible, ongoing approach ensures that you not only get clear skin but also keep it healthy, reducing the risk of long-term damage or repeated outbreaks.
How It Works
We start with a thorough consultation to identify the cause of your symptoms. Diagnosis may involve a visual examination, dermatoscopic imaging, or laboratory testing. Once we know whether it’s bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasitic, we create a personalised treatment plan.
Bacterial infections may require antibiotics, fungal infections need topical oral antifungals, and viral lesions often respond well to targeted laser therapy. Our advanced systems allow us to treat stubborn infectious disease skin rashes with precision, reducing discomfort and promoting faster healing. We also provide preventive advice to reduce the risk of reinfection.
