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.
Causes and risk factors
Bacteria get in through a break in the skin such as a cut, bite, blister, graze or fungal infection between the toes. Holidays raise the risk through sea water, rocky shores and bare feet.
Symptoms of cellulitis
- Skin that looks tight or glossy
- Fever or chills
- Redness that spreads over hours
- Pain or tenderness
- Red, hot, swollen skin
How to lower your risk of cellulitis
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. Since it can spread fast, an in-person check the same day may be advised. Treatment can involve oral antibiotics, and painkillers 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
- Clean cuts and grazes promptly and cover them
- Do not scratch bites
