Understanding cellulitis
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and the tissue underneath, causing a red, warm, swollen and painful area that can spread quickly.
Why cellulitis happens
Bacteria entering through a break in the skin, such as a cut, insect bite, blister, graze or fungal infection between the toes. Sea water, rocks and walking barefoot add to the risk on holiday.
How cellulitis feels

- Redness that spreads over hours

Photos and a video visit let the physician assess the area and prescribe an antibiotic if cellulitis is likely. Because it can spread fast, an in-person check the same day may be advised. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest oral antibiotics, and pain relief and elevation of the area.
- Do not scratch bites
- Clean cuts and grazes promptly and cover them
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
