Bug Bites, Tick Bites, and Skin Infections: What You Need to Know 

Dealing with bug bites, tick bites, or skin infections can be uncomfortable and concerning. Whether you've been enjoying the great outdoors or simply encountered an insect at home, these skin issues can sometimes lead to infections if not properly treated. 

Skin Infections:

Skin infections can occur as a result of bug bites or tick bites, especially if they are scratched or not kept clean. Common signs of a skin infection include redness, warmth, swelling, or pus at the site of the bite. If you suspect an infection, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly. 

Wound Care:

Proper wound care is essential in preventing infections. Clean the affected area with mild soap and water, apply an antiseptic cream, and cover it with a bandage. Avoid scratching the bite to reduce the risk of infection.

Visit date: September 4, 2025Office: Clean and quiet. It’s not overstimulating with tv noise or loud patients. Although, I was the only patient in the waiting area.Wait time: I was greeted and immediately attended to. I filled out the standard urgent care forms (online) asking for medical history and insurance information. It took me a little while to complete due to my symptoms and it was a little lengthy. I didn’t keep track of the exact minutes but I was seen immediately after completing the forms.Vitals: The medical assistant that took my vitals was thorough and friendly. Most MA’s skip height and weight and just ask; however this MA checked both.Provider: After the MA’s did a preliminary evaluation, the provider came in. There was barely any wait. She looked my test results, asked me questions and did her own thorough assessment of my current symptoms. She put me at ease, assuring me that my condition wasn’t as bad as initially presumed. I was grateful. Her bedside manners were exceptional. Rare in this field. You can tell she was genuine and truly compassionate about my health. She advised me to go home immediately and to contact her office if I had any concerns about my symptoms.Overall: I am very satisfied and grateful for this staff’s help. This office is about 15-20 minutes from my home but worth the travel all non-emergency medical care. Thank you Nurse Stephanie, APRN.

What a pleasant surprise! I had to bring my daughter in after the first day of school. We both anticipated a long wait and crowded waiting room. Instead, we were greeted in a modern, new lobby with just one other person. After completing required paperwork, we were taken back quickly to an examination room. The doctor was amazing with my daughter and provided great care with a lovely bedside manner. Overall great customer experience!
