Cellulitis explained
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and the tissue underneath, causing a red, warm, swollen and painful area that can spread rapidly.
Common triggers
Bacteria get in through a break in the skin such as a cut, bite, blister, graze or fungal infection between the toes. Sea water, rocks and bare feet raise the risk on holiday.
Avoiding cellulitis on holiday
Treat cuts and grazes promptly, moisturise dry skin, wear footwear on rocky shores and treat athlete’s foot early.
Getting cellulitis treated in Avanos
Photos and a video visit let the doctor judge the area and, if cellulitis is likely, prescribe antibiotics. Since it can spread fast, the doctor may advise an in-person check the same day. Typical choices are oral antibiotics, and pain relief and elevation of the area.
- Do not scratch bites
- Clean cuts and grazes promptly and cover them
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
