The treatment of skin infection depends on its cause and severity. Some types of viral skin infections get better on their own within a few days or weeks. Bacterial infections are often treated with antibiotics applied to the skin or with oral antibiotics. If these drugs do not respond to the bacteria, then intravenous antibiotics are given in the hospital to treat the infection. Antifungal sprays and creams available from chemists can be used to treat fungal infections of the skin. In addition, you can apply medicated creams on the skin to treat parasitic skin infections.
