Is an infectious disease doctor be the one to see😊 I have been dealing with symptoms like this for a while. Seen several doctors but nobody can really help.
I almost always learn something new from your excellent videos, even though I enjoyed a long career in nursing. I'm begging you, though, to please address skin color changes in individuals with dark skin whose signs of inflammation may not manifest as redness. Sorry to get on my soapbox, but I've had patients of all colors, and Healthcare professionals still don't appear to be sufficiently proficient in covering non-white individuals' color changes. Or worse, sometimes it just doesn't occur to them.
I've had to stay in hospital for 8 days as I've left upper arm cellulitis. I was on Clandimycin & Flucillin 1g 4 × daily intravenously but because my veins not showing up, they had to switch to orally. It'll 18 days on Friday that I've been on the antibiotics. I've had 2 ultrasounds to rule out DVT. I spread up to my wrist in the matter of hours. I was also on Clexane injections into the stomach to prevent blood clots. I've to go to see Consultant on Friday morning and physiotherapy after to try and get my mobility back. I'm 32 year old.
Many years ago I came down with a case around my nose and forehead --Oh boy!! In just a matter of hours .....I was in the hospital and put on the antibiotics, intravenously. The next day--what a scare when I saw my reflection!!! I just remember my whole face was swollen beyond imagination ...there were literally holes in my face where my nostrils were.....Thank God the meds worked wonders!! To say the least, even 30 plus years ago, I am extremely cautious of any redness on myself or my family members. Cellulitis can be super scary!!
I got cellulitis after a bee sting on my arm. Very painful, swelling, red and hard area larger than my hand. It rose up within hours of the sting and was worse the 2nd day. Prescribed antibiotics for 7 days. Took 3 weeks to totally go away.
I had cellulitis a few years ago and it started with a severe fever for me. I had body aches, high temperature, shivering and shaking even though I had plenty of blankets. I went to the hospital and they thought I had Covid but test was negative. No rash at the time. 36 hours later I went back to the hospital with the nasty rash on my leg and still sick with fever, and it was Cellulitis.
Great info guys, thanks, its really good life knowledge to recognize the infection, in particular, tracking if the redness is moving up the limb or towards the heart. So the area of redness and swelling, in particular, the redness area, will increase in the infected area,. High temperature or just feeling unwell. The inflamed, sore and swollen area feels really quite hot. Mum, in UHCW UK NHS, now having IV Flucloxacillin. Very brave lady, pain out of 10, was 3. Fingers crossed she will make a good recovery. Swift action is required to avoid complications. Always call for medics if unsure.
Great information, but could you please show compression done correctly? As a wound care nurse who has done compression for patients many times, I can say with full confidence that compression starts at the toes. If you apply compression as you showed in your video, you’re going to come back to see a swollen foot and skinny leg to put it simply, not to mention other complications.
This happened to me after shopping in the " open air market " in China .It was inflamed , painful , dark red . My daughter got frightened , her friend who was a doctor said that it was nothing serious maybe some kind of allergy to take Tylenol for pine and it will go away by itself .It took good five days . I'm sure it wasn't a allergy . Now I can count myself lucky
Had cellulitis on my shin that was misdiagnosed at the start but a different doc figured it out a couple of weeks later(didn’t have athletes foot). Heavy doses of antibiotics starting intravenously a few times and over a few weeks and it slowly went away. Not fun and it’s important to get it looked at right away.
I had Cellulitis on each arm about 2 weeks apart. I itched so bad and nothing stopped it except a cold pack. I think I was bit and the itching triggered the infection. I understand it can grow to a more serious infection.
As a sonographer, this is a touchy subject. Nothing worse than getting called in at 2 am for cellulitis on a leg. Ofcourse they want a scan to rule out dvt but in the 17 years Ive been doing ultrasounds, Ive only seen a handful of leg discoloration related to a dvt. I do on average 5 to 7 legs a day for dvts. However the majority 99.9 % of cellulitis legs are just that...cellulitis.
Developed for me after they excised squamous cell skin cancer on my forearm. Redness, warmth, swelling, weeping of the wound, nasty pain. Two weeks of antibiotics over and done. Never want that hell again.
I got an insect bite. I kept it clean as much as possible. 9 days later I developed cellulitis. Very painful, swelled and a very distinct redness. Within a few hours the redness had doubled in size. Once you have seen cellulitis, you know it when you see it again. I went for emergency care and got oral antibiotics for 7 days. It cleared up but the mark lasted for a few weeks. It is so important to get treated as soon as possible.
I had a small scar on my right foot and i tried different ointments and it only spread more now its on the other foot inspite of three courses of antibiotics what do i do i am very concern about this condition i plan on seeing a skin specialist later this month . I am at my wits end any adcice you can give it woul be greatly appreciated.
Currently suffering from a severe case according to a micro biologist. On IV meds and swelling and redness still hasn't improved after a week. Spent 4 days in hospital. Discouraging to say the least. Blood work says I'm improving though.
I’m looking at this bec I got a spark stuck in my mustache below me right nose hole and first it looked like a pimple for 2 days then bam woke up my face looked like I got beat with a bat pus rolling out and hurts so bad I’m on day 2 of antibiotics and I can tell it’s getting better but still swollen and still hurts really bad
I had to do a sergi on my left leg and you in the haspital for 7 days I could not walk my legs was swollen from the knee to the straight down the doctor had to stuff the wound I could not walk for a couple of weeks and the wound took 3 to 4 weeks to heal after healing a couple of days after I started to feel a sharp pain at the area on the leg that was cut no swelling no redness and no high temperature was noticed
I had a buildup of old ear wax that eventually got infected and the side of my face ballooned up from cellulitis. Dr says canal looks ok. ENT says canal looks ok. I scrape out large quantity of old wax. Problem solved.
I have a reoccurring issue with cellulitis. First time in my feet then my ankles and later to my elbow. I have had it on my cheek as well. It can be anywhere. My treatment has been with cephalaxin and not penicillin at 500 mg per day. Strong stuff for about 10 days. It’s exactly as the doctors say. It’s very painful. If it is red, draw a line around it, if it grows then go to emergency. I was on 6 rounds of intravenous for my first attack because I let it go too long.
@R19654 is it like a rash? Is it itchy? I have about 15 red dots on both of my feet on the shin but it doesn’t hurt it is just itchy. I put cortisone on it and it helped, now I am wondering if it was cellulitis 💭
@@ShopStylebyme It starts as a sore spot that turns into a red spot often the size of a quarter or larger that grows quickly. It’s sore then became really painful. Feels like you bumped into something. But that pain is unique. You will know.
That would be good, but please don’t get one who says “most of the time people recover within 1 month/2 months/ 6 months - etc. After more than 11 years, I still suffer effects despite the CT scan reassuring the ER that there was no problem. There are many other obvious symptoms of serious problems than are visible on a CT scan.
Could triple antibiotic lotion/gel/ointment be used at the beginning of cellulitis? to avoid getting a bunch of antibiotics in the body... Thanks in advance.
I believe I had cellulitis of the lip back in 1982 1993. I used to wipe my rear and then wipe my face at the same time by doubt that if they caused it then like a week two weeks later, we would appear on my upper up and then the doctor gave me medication and it smelled so bad. I couldn’t take it so they made me to the hospital.
My ER person advised if I experience symptoms again to get straight to ER as cellulitius can lead to amputation. They immediately check your temperature and heart date, then your bloods. Intravenous antibiotics is the direct hit for the start of recovery, then you go onto oral antibiotics. Fast forward 8 years, I was prescribed to wear compression stockings 30-40 mmhg during the day, knee hight, toeless style. Had 8 bouts since the first - on lower left leg, body shivers in 38 degree celcius weather, 5 blankets, extreme thirst.....progressed to weeping blisters..... then pain to get out of chair (a 1mm kidney stone is worse..... worse than natural childbirth 😅).... picked up a bug in the ocean or ground and my unfit 50 year old body then....
I had this 2 years ago. It happened in my wrist and forearm. No wounds, punctures, bug bites, etc. so I have no idea how it happened. Super painful! My chiropractor was manipulating it because I thought I had sprained my wrist - the absolute worst thing you can do, I was writhing in pain!! Antibiotics did the trick and it wasn’t so painful after several days on them.
I have had Cellulitis 3 times same lower leg. It is the most painful thing I have ever gone through including knee replacement. Needed the IV all 3 times as the Oral treatment couldn't get rid of it. Red, lots of swelling throughout my whole calf were my most prominent symptoms.
Diagnosed after a spider bite. Prescribed oral sulfa drug. Drug caused worse reaction than diagnosed condition. By 4th day Dr said ok to discontinue drug...(no, really?) No topical remedy, just sulfa. Symptom went away. Filed under Why I don't see doctors unless I'm dying.
Hello Doctors. I was bitten by few mosquitoes a couple of weeks ago. ( the inner part of my arm). I monitored it & took care of it like I would normally do. Within a few days, the bumps spread, area turned very red, nasty rash. Went to urgent care & was diagnosed with Cellulitis. Was given Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg 2x a day. I had to ask the NP for a topical salve. He prescribed Triamcinolone 0.5%. The rash seems to be clearing up. I was told to go to the ER if I didnt see any improvement in a few days. I feel a burning sensation at times & noticed a few sall bumps with fluid on my elbow. Is this normal?
my uncle had a toe amputated because the Nursing Home's "specialist" kept giving him some low level anitbiotic that obviously was not working. Always go to an Infectious Disease specialist.
Hey docs what r u guys’s specialty? My daughter in law had cellulitis on her leg from her dog jumping over her leg and scratched it and took antibiotics and then they never helped bc the antibiotic wasn’t strong enough so she got stronger one and now gone. Thanks docs! Been curious to what u guys’ specialty is. Lol. ❤❤
Eating and drinking too much causes my left leg to swell in hot weather, and if I binge really badly, then the right one too. Walking in boots provides compression. If I can get the boots on. I don't think I've knowingly had cellulitis after a fair share of cuts, dirty garden soil, prickly plants and cat scratches. I thought you'd have sepsis if bacteria get inside.
My grandmother who is 77 years old got cellulities. She is hospitalized for 3 days now. She is on antibiotics. But doctor said she has to go through small dead skin removal sergury. Im worriying. Please explain
I have it on my face, ear & behind my ear. Not only does it hurt but it itches and I had a fever to begin with as well as trouble sleeping. My face is hideous now and I look like a different person. and I am absolutely miserable so it has effected me psychologically as well 😢 I am on antibiotics & steroids as well as these creams from my dermatologist.
Can u get this from a lab? I got it from a dirty lab with blood draw n went er twice in 3 months each time after the lab draw..they used no cleaning no gloves
my doctor tried 4 or 5 antibiotics and my foot kept growing. He had no clue. I ended up in the hospital and the doctor there took a sample and tested it to determine which antibiotic is right for me. If this ever happens again, I will avoid the GP and go straight to an Infectious Disease doctor that knows what he is doing so I can tack the infection right then and there, instead of 3 weeks of my GP trying to get it right by guessing. SMH.
I have had Cellulitis 7 times in 5 months! I feel like death. Dr dont have a clue. They tell me watch my sugars... I do. Still happens. I wish someone could help me.... the feeling in my back is so bad. the feeling of needing to strech over and over it hurts when i do...
My 33 year old son developed cellulitis in his right thigh.The infection attacked his heart it ate a hole between both chambers.A week later he was dead.This happened 13 years ago but still feels like yesterday.
So very sorry for your loss! I once asked a doctor when it’s best to call her so I don’t waste her time. She said three days. If, by the third day, you’re not getting better, call your doctor immediately or get yourself to the Emergency Room.

After cellulitis is cured by antibiotic treatment, are there any complications that can/may arise from a previously treated infection?
Sometimes persistent swelling or skin changes

So we are Orthopedic surgeons and our guest Dr Warren is an infectious disease specialist.
Which antibiotic cured it?
I have read everything online and it says cellulitis is generally only on one side.
Eating and drinking too much causes my left leg to swell in hot weather, and if I binge really badly, then the right one too. Walking in boots provides compression. If I can get the boots on. I don't think I've knowingly had cellulitis after a fair share of cuts, dirty garden soil, prickly plants and cat scratches. I thought you'd have sepsis if bacteria get inside.
Cellulitis is an infection of the skin. Sepsis is an infection in the bloodstream and is extremely serious.
Ouch!
Yup
Both oral and IV antibiotics have failed me. I'm so scared.
My grandmother who is 77 years old got cellulities. She is hospitalized for 3 days now. She is on antibiotics. But doctor said she has to go through small dead skin removal sergury. Im worriying. Please explain

What if its not resolving even after taking antibiotics for 8 days
What medicine did you use to finally cure it? What was the name of your antibiotic?
@tooquick6 Coamoxiclav
I have it on my face, ear & behind my ear. Not only does it hurt but it itches and I had a fever to begin with as well as trouble sleeping.

I had cellulitis on my back a couple years ago after having a punch biopsy done on a weird spot on my back.
I had this twice second time was in my nose.
Had to be on intravenous antibiotics. They said to close to my brain.

I wonder how come you cant swabb? The red is so shinny that if I touch the shinny part my finger will be shinny its that bad? That seems wierd to me.

Can you catch cellulitis from some one that has it?
No.
Not typically
Had it on my neck and moved up onto my face
