Episode 05: Cellulitis

from Lymphedema Podcast · host Betty Westbrook

Photo by rawpixel on Unsplash Have you ever experienced redness in your affected limb and had a fever? Have you ever gone to the emergency room for a red spot that was warm to the touch and kept getting bigger? Did the doctors and nurses at the emergency room look at you like you were crazy or contagious? Cellulitis is a serious risk for lymphies. On this episode I break down a skin care routine to prevent or limit cellulitis occurrences, as well as what to do if you have or suspect you have cellulitis. If you think you have cellulitis don’t waste anytime getting treatment. Oral antibiotics from the doctor, not the left over stuff you have from last years sinus infection, or a tube of that topical stuff for cuts. A new, full, prescription that you start the same day is what you need. Listen to this episode for more signs, symptoms, and suggestions for cellulitis treatment.
