[Soft tissue infections treatable in the doctor's office].
A good number of infections requiring only minor surgery can be treated in the GP's office, simply and adequately.

Provided the principles listed here are adhered to, treatment is usually successful. All other courses indicate a multifactorial pathology and belong in the hands of an experienced specialist.
