Understanding cellulitis
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and the tissue beneath it. It produces a red, warm, swollen, painful area that can spread rapidly.
Why cellulitis happens
A cut, insect bite, blister, scrape or athlete’s foot gives bacteria a way in. Sea water, rocks and bare feet raise the risk on holiday.

How cellulitis is treated
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.
- Clean cuts and grazes promptly and cover them
- Do not scratch bites
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
