Skin Infection Treatment in Brooklyn – Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Dermatology Care

At BayWay Dermatology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a full range of bacterial, viral, and fungal skin infections for patients of all ages. Whether you’re experiencing a common rash, a contagious lesion, or a painful outbreak, our expert dermatology team provides precise, fast, and effective treatment in our convenient Brooklyn office.

Skin infections can vary widely in appearance, cause, and severity—from minor irritations to serious conditions that require immediate care. Our goal is to accurately identify the infection type and deliver a targeted treatment plan that eliminates the infection, restores skin health, and prevents complications or spread.

🦠 Conditions We Treat Include:

Bacterial Infections

  • Impetigo – Highly contagious, red sores or honey-colored crusts

  • Cellulitis – Swollen, tender skin caused by deeper bacterial invasion

  • Folliculitis – Infected hair follicles causing red bumps or pustules

  • Infected wounds or abrasions

Viral Infections

  • Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) – Cold sores or genital lesions

  • Varicella-Zoster Virus – Chickenpox and shingles

  • Molluscum Contagiosum – Dome-shaped viral bumps, common in kids

  • Warts (caused by HPV) – Raised lesions on hands, feet, or genital area

Fungal Infections

  • Tinea (Ringworm) – Itchy, circular rashes on body or scalp

  • Athlete’s Foot – Scaly, itchy skin between toes

  • Yeast Infections – Often in skin folds or warm, moist areas

  • Fungal nail infections (onychomycosis)

💊 Our Treatment Approach Includes:

  • Topical antifungals, antivirals, or antibiotics

  • Oral medications for deep, widespread, or resistant infections

  • In-office procedures such as lesion drainage, wart removal, or cryotherapy

  • Lab testing, swabs, or skin cultures to confirm diagnosis when needed
