Skin and soft tissue infections can occur anywhere on a child's body and may range in appearance from a rash to a large abscess/ dead tissue.
Many of these can be treated by your GP and paediatrician with antibiotics, however if tissue needs to be removed or an abscess needs to be drained your child will require surgery.
These are generally minor procedures and do not require a lengthy stay in hospital, however each case is treated individually and may require multiple surgeries and a long stay in hospital in severe cases.
If your child has a suspected skin infection, it is wise to consult a doctor immediately to ensure it is managed appropriately before progressing to a severe infection.
