What is soft tissue infection?
A soft tissue infection involves the skin and the tissue just beneath it, for example an infected cut, boil, abscess or cellulitis, and it can spread if left untreated.
What can cause soft tissue infection
Bacteria get in through a cut, bite, scrape, insect bite or blister. Sweat, shaving, sea water, small skin injuries and diabetes raise the risk.
Typical symptoms
- A red streak spreading from the wound
- Fever or chills
- Red, warm and swollen area of skin
- Pain and tenderness
- Pus or a boil
How soft tissue infection is treated
The physician looks at the area on camera, judges how serious it is, prescribes an antibiotic where it is suitable and arranges drainage or in-person review if there is an abscess or it is spreading. Typical choices are antibiotics, wound care and, for an abscess, drainage arranged in person.
- Do not squeeze or burst a boil or abscess
- Cover it with a clean dressing
- Clean the area with soap and water
- Keep the limb raised and mark the edge of any redness with a pen
