What Is 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.
Care and Treatment for Cellulitis
Photos and a video visit let the doctor judge the area and, if cellulitis is likely, prescribe antibiotics. Because it can spread fast, the physician may advise an in-person check the same day. Typical choices are oral antibiotics, and pain relief and elevation of the area.
- Do not scratch bites
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
