Cellulitis explained
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.
Typical symptoms
- Fever or chills
- Pain or tenderness
- Red, hot, swollen skin
- Skin that looks tight or glossy
Avoiding cellulitis on holiday
Treat cuts and grazes promptly, moisturise dry skin, wear footwear on rocky shores and treat athlete’s foot early.
Care and treatment for cellulitis
Photos and a video visit let the doctor evaluate 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 physician may suggest oral antibiotics, and pain relief and elevation of the area.
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
- Do not scratch bites
