Cellulitis & Erysipelas

Just beneath the surface of the skin crops up the infectious Cellulitis and erysipelas that are caused by variety of factors. Any area of the skin can be affected by Cellulitis and erysipelas but the leg is the most common site.

Starting point over these illnesses may be bacteria introduced to the skin through cuts or sores, ulcers, skin injuries, insect or animal bites, and surgical wounds. Some skin conditions like impetigo, eczema, fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot also increase the likelihood of a person getting erysipelas.

Swollen and shiny with red streaks above the affected area depicts the condition. Also a warm and tender to touch skin is a sign of cellulitis. In severe cases, skin can get blisters, turn purple or black.

Skin is met with Erysipela due to some medications that can weaken the immune system. These medications include certain cancer drugs and drugs usually used after organ transplants. Erysipelas can happen to anyone, but it most common among infants and adults over 60 years. Erysipelas is not communicable or genetic.

A clinical evaluation or blood test is performed to determine levels of white blood cells (WBC). The higher the level of WBC, the greater the tissue damage and bacterial infection caused. A computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is necessary in some cases of severe deeper infection. In general, diagnose of erysipelas can be made by the symptoms and appearance of the affected area, because the symptoms tend to occur only with this specific condition.
