Skin infections can develop suddenly and escalate quickly — causing pain, swelling, spreading redness, and lasting discomfort if left untreated. At Campbell Dermatology & Aesthetics in McMinnville, OR, our dermatology providers carefully evaluate the type, cause, and severity of your skin infection and create a targeted treatment plan using evidence-based antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral therapies tailored to your specific condition.

Every skin infection is different — and so is every patient. Whether you’re dealing with a bacterial infection like cellulitis, a fungal condition such as ringworm, or a viral outbreak like shingles, our McMinnville dermatology team evaluates your symptoms, medical history, and skin type before recommending the most effective treatment. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Advanced Skin Infection Treatments We Offer

We use evidence-based medicine and personalized care to effectively treat skin infections and restore your skin health.

We prescribe topical or oral antibiotics to eliminate bacterial infections such as cellulitis, boils, and impetigo. These treatments work to stop infection from spreading, reduce pain and swelling, and promote faster skin healing.

Our antifungal options include creams, oral medications, and medicated shampoos designed to treat stubborn fungal infections like ringworm, athlete’s foot, and yeast infections. These therapies target the source of infection, relieve irritation, and help restore skin balance.

For viral conditions such as herpes simplex or shingles, we offer targeted antiviral therapies. These treatments can shorten the duration of outbreaks, ease discomfort, and reduce the chance of recurrence.

Beyond medication, we provide education and guidance on hygiene, wound care, and skin protection strategies. By identifying triggers and adopting preventive habits, patients can lower recurrence risk and maintain healthier skin long-term.

Expert Care for Lasting Skin Health

Untreated skin infections can spread quickly and affect overall health. Our specialists combine medical expertise with compassionate care to ensure effective treatment and long-term prevention.

“We don’t just treat infections. We restore comfort, confidence, and skin health.”
