ABOUT THE TREATMENT
An infection needs the right diagnosis before the right medicine.
Skin infections can look like rashes, acne, eczema or allergic reactions. Bacterial, fungal and viral conditions often require different treatments, and unnecessary antibiotics or steroid creams can make some problems harder to manage.
01
Assessment First
Your concern, relevant history and treatment goals are reviewed before suitability is discussed.
02
Personalised Planning
The treatment pathway is adapted to your assessment, priorities and realistic goals rather than a fixed protocol.
03
Treatment Delivery
Technique, intensity and treatment details are selected conservatively according to the service and your individual needs.
04
Review & Aftercare
Aftercare and follow-up are used to assess response, support recovery and decide whether further treatment is appropriate.

Antibiotics, antifungals or antivirals are used only when appropriate.

IN MORE DETAIL
Understanding Skin Infections.
Clinical examination — and occasionally testing — helps determine whether antimicrobial treatment, drainage, supportive care or another diagnosis is more likely.
At Lumera Derm, treatment choice follows assessment. The aim is to match the option to the concern, skin or scalp condition, medical history and realistic goals rather than treating a service name as a one-size-fits-all solution.
