About 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.
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. Treatment can involve oral antibiotics, and painkillers and elevation of the area.
- Do not scratch bites
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
- Clean cuts and grazes promptly and cover them
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
