Urgent Care for Abscesses & Cellulitis

Abscesses and cellulitis are painful skin conditions caused by bacterial infections. Abscesses are pus-filled lumps that form under the skin, while cellulitis is a deeper infection of the skin and underlying tissues. Both conditions can escalate quickly if untreated, leading to complications such as fever, spread of infection, and tissue damage. London Harley Street Clinics offers expert care to treat these conditions promptly and effectively.

When to Seek Urgent Care

You should visit London Harley Street Clinics if you experience:

  • A red, swollen, and tender lump that may feel warm to the touch (possible abscess).
  • Spreading redness, warmth, or swelling on the skin (signs of cellulitis).
  • Fever, chills, or fatigue accompanying skin symptoms.
  • Increased pain, swelling, or drainage from the affected area.
  • Signs of rapid infection progression or spreading streaks on the skin.

Our Approach to Treatment

At London Harley Street Clinics, we provide comprehensive care to alleviate pain and prevent complications:

  • Detailed Assessment: Our specialists assess the size, severity, and location of the infection to create a personalized treatment plan.
  • Drainage of Abscesses: For abscesses, we perform incision and drainage under sterile conditions to remove pus and promote healing.
  • Antibiotic Therapy: Antibiotics are prescribed to combat bacterial infection and prevent further spread, particularly for cellulitis.
  • Wound Care: Expert guidance on wound management, including dressings and hygiene, to ensure proper healing.
  • Follow-Up Support: Monitoring your progress and addressing any concerns during recovery.
