Cellulitis
Skin infection? Seek healing and care.
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and tissues beneath the skin, characterized by redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the affected area. It most commonly affects the skin of the lower legs, but it can occur on any part of the body. Cellulitis can spread rapidly if left untreated, leading to more severe health issues, including bloodstream infections and lymphangitis. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is crucial to combat the infection and prevent its spread.

Precautions
- Elevate the affected area to reduce swelling and discomfort. For example, if cellulitis is on a leg, keep the leg elevated when sitting or lying down.
- Apply cool, wet dressings to the affected area to soothe discomfort and reduce swelling. Clean, damp cloths can be used for this purpose and changed frequently.
- Ensure to maintain good skin hygiene and keep the affected area clean and protected. Gently washing the area with mild soap and water and covering it with a clean, dry bandage can help prevent further irritation or infection.
