Skin Infections, Abscesses, Rashes

Skin Issue Suddenly Showing Up? Let’s Take Care of It Quickly.

Skin problems tend to appear at the worst possible time — a painful bump, a spreading rash, redness that looks infected, or a boil that’s getting bigger. Whether it’s an abscess, cellulitis, allergic rash, shingles, or an unexplained irritation, quick evaluation makes a major difference. Instead of waiting days for a PCP or pediatrician appointment or sitting in urgent care, members can reach Calabasas Concierge MD by call, text, or telehealth for immediate guidance from board-certified ER physician Dr. Eryk Hakman, with same-day in-home visits when a hands-on exam or procedure is needed.

Common skin issues we treat include:

• Cellulitis (skin infection)
• Abscesses and boils
• Infected cuts  
• Insect bites
• Rashes from allergies, contact irritation, or viral illness
• Shingles
• Eczema or dermatitis flares
• Hives and allergic reactions
• Poison oak/ivy exposure

Your evaluation starts with direct access. A quick call or text allows Dr. Hakman to review your symptoms, look at photos if needed, and determine whether your condition can be treated remotely or requires an in-home visit. Many rashes and mild infections can be diagnosed by telehealth with appropriate prescriptions or skincare instructions. When an abscess needs drainage, an infection needs close examination, or the rash requires an in-person assessment, Dr. Hakman can perform a same-day house call with full sterile equipment.

When appropriate, we provide:

• Prescription antibiotics for bacterial infections
• Incision and drainage of abscesses at home
• Steroid creams and anti-itch medications
• Allergy management for hives and reactions
• Antivirals for shingles
• Wound care, dressing changes, and follow-up
• Guidance on preventing spread or recurrence

If your skin condition suggests a more serious underlying problem — such as rapidly spreading infection, fever, or signs of systemic illness — we coordinate urgent evaluation and help guide next steps.

Dr. Hakman’s note: “Skin infections and abscesses can worsen quickly. Early care at home prevents complications and helps you feel better faster.”
