Dr. Yongbo Jia is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of its dermatology service at Chongqing West District Hospital — the lead physician of this site’s skin infection content. A vice chief physician and licensed aesthetic attending, he graduated from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and trained in dermatology at the Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and at Chongqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
His practice is the diagnosis and medical treatment of skin infection: fungal infection of the body, groin, feet and nails, bacterial infection of the hair follicle and the superficial skin, viral infection including herpes simplex and shingles, and the many rashes that imitate all of them. He treats an infection as something to be identified first and then treated for as long as it actually requires — not as a rash to be covered with whatever cream is nearest.

Diagnosis first
Most treatment failures in skin infection trace back to a missed diagnosis or a course that was too short. A scraping under the microscope takes minutes and settles a question that months of guessing cannot.
