Signs Indicating You Need to Visit Urgent Care:

- Rash accompanied by fever or spreading rapidly
- Pus, drainage, or foul odor from a wound or skin lesion

- Painful, inflamed toenail or ear with swelling
- Unexplained bumps, lumps, or cysts that grow or change
- Persistent itchiness, burning, or irritation not improving with home care
Infections & Skin Conditions We Treat:
- Abscess/Cysts: Abscesses and cysts are fluid-filled or pus-filled lumps under the skin caused by infection or blocked glands. They can be painful, swollen, and red. We perform sterile drainage procedures to relieve pressure, reduce pain, and promote healing.
- Cysts: Cysts that persist or become bothersome may require complete removal. We evaluate the type and location of the cyst to determine the best removal method. Our providers use in-office techniques to safely excise the cyst with minimal discomfort.
- Styes: A stye is a red, tender bump that forms near the edge of the eyelid due to a blocked gland. It can cause swelling, tearing, and eye discomfort. We offer warm compresses, antibiotic ointments, and if necessary, minor procedures for drainage.
- Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): Conjunctivitis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergies, and results in redness, itching, discharge, or crusting around the eyes. We diagnose the type of conjunctivitis and recommend treatment, including antibiotic drops for bacterial causes.
- Rashes: Rashes can result from allergies, infections, autoimmune issues, or irritants. They may be itchy, red, dry, or blistered. We assess the cause and prescribe creams, medications, or antihistamines as needed to relieve symptoms and avoid complications.
- Skin Infections: Bacterial or fungal skin infections may cause redness, warmth, swelling, and pain. Common skin infections include cellulitis, impetigo, and ringworm. We evaluate the extent of the infection and offer oral or topical medications to help avoid complications.
- Swimmer’s Ear: This is an infection of the outer ear canal, often caused by trapped moisture, and it may cause ear pain, itching, and discharge. We clean the ear canal and prescribe antibiotic drops to prevent the infection from worsening and affecting hearing.
- Ingrown Toenails: Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and possible infection. We offer gentle in-office procedures to remove the ingrown portion and treat any infection.
- Eye Infections: Beyond pink eye, other eye infections like staphylococcal or viral conjunctivitis can affect vision and cause redness, pain, sensitivity to light, or discharge. We perform a thorough eye exam and recommend the best treatment for quick recovery.
- Ear Infections: Ear infections can develop in the outer, middle, or inner ear and may cause pain, hearing loss, or fever. We evaluate the type and severity of infection using an otoscope. Treatment may include antibiotic drops or oral medications. If you need ear infection treatment in Pasadena, come in today.
- Tonsillitis: Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils, often from a viral or bacterial infection. It causes sore throat, swollen tonsils, fever, and difficulty swallowing. We perform a throat exam and may conduct a rapid test to determine the cause and offer personalized treatments.
- Vaginitis: Vaginitis refers to inflammation or infection of the vagina, often due to bacteria, yeast, or irritation, and it may cause itching, unusual discharge, and discomfort. Treatment for vaginitis is personalized and may include antifungals, antibiotics, or other medications.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Testimonials
Needed to come in for my ear infection. The staff was friendly. Everyone was wearing masks. It was a clean facility. The appointment was fast, and the doctor seemed thorough. And so far, my ear feels better. Overall good experience.
-Pauline S.
This is truly by far the best walk in/urgent care I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to quite a few in Arizona and California. You’re greeted by friendly staff, who are very helpful. You’re seen very quickly, and out the door all in under 45 minutes in both my experiences. Both times, I went for an ear infection. I paid out of pocket both times cause they accept my insurance health net but no biggie because it was totally worth it for the experience. $150 the 1st visit, and that’s including the antibiotics, $110 for the 2nd visit. I highly recommend this place for everyone needing great and quick care.
-Kerrie M.
Great service! I was there for an ear infection and Dr. Phillip treated me and was out of there within an hour. The staff is amazing! I highly recommend this Urgent Care.

Skin Conditions FAQs
Can urgent care diagnose complex skin conditions like skin cancer?
Urgent care providers can evaluate suspicious moles or lesions, but they do not perform skin biopsies or specialized testing required to diagnose skin cancer. If a lesion looks unusual or has changed in size/shape, you may be referred to a dermatologist for further evaluation.
How quickly should I seek care for a rash or skin infection?
If a rash or infection is worsening, painful, spreading, or accompanied by fever, urgent care is a good option for prompt evaluation. Waiting more than a few days while symptoms persist or worsen may delay needed treatment.
Can urgent care treat both bacterial and fungal skin infections?
Yes — urgent care clinics commonly diagnose and treat a variety of infections, including bacterial infections like cellulitis and fungal issues like ringworm, with prescription medications when needed.
What should I bring to my urgent care visit for a skin issue?
For a faster, more accurate assessment, bring:
- A list of your current symptoms and when they started
- Any medications or creams you’ve already used
- Photos showing how the rash or infection has changed over time
This information helps clinicians tailor diagnosis and treatment more precisely. (General best practice)
Will urgent care follow up with a specialist if my condition needs longer-term care?
Yes — if your skin condition requires ongoing management, urgent care providers can refer you to a dermatologist or other specialist for continued evaluation and specialized treatment.
