Urgent Care for Children: Minor Burns & Rashes
When your child experiences a minor burn or develops a rash, it’s important to seek quick, reliable care. Our experienced pediatric team is equipped to handle a wide range of skin issues, ensuring your child receives the care they need in a safe and supportive environment.
Minor Burns
Burns can range from mild to severe, and it’s essential to recognize the severity early on. First-degree or superficial burns, such as a mild sunburn, affect the outer layer of skin. The burn site is often red, painful, and dry but has no blisters. Urgent Care for Children offers immediate treatment for pediatric burns, including burns from hot liquids, surfaces or sunburns. Our expert pediatric team will assess the burn’s severity, provide appropriate wound care and offer pain relief options. For serious burns, we recommend heading directly to an emergency department equipped for pediatric burn treatment.
Rashes
Children are prone to a variety of rashes, which may result from allergies, infections or skin irritants. Our pediatric team is trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of rashes, including eczema, diaper rash and hives. We will evaluate the rash, identify its cause and provide a tailored treatment plan to relieve discomfort and prevent further irritation.
