Possible Causes Of Cellulite
Infectious cellulitis occurs when Staphylococcus or Streptococcus bacteria can penetrate the skin. Therefore, this type of infection is more common in people with surgical wounds or cuts and stings that have not been properly treated.
In addition, people with skin problems that can cause cuts, such as eczema, dermatitis or ringworms, are also at increased risk of developing a case of infectious cellulitis, as well as people with weakened immune systems or diabetes.
How Is The Cellulite Treatment done?
Treatment for infectious cellulitis is usually started with the use of oral antibiotics such as Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for 10 to 21 days. During this time it is advised to take all the tablets at the time indicated by the dermatologist, as well as observe the evolution of the redness in the skin. If the redness increases or another symptom gets worse, it is very important to return to the hospital, as the prescribed antibiotic may not be having the expected effect, needing to be changed.
In addition, your doctor may prescribe analgesics, such as Paracetamol or Dipirone, to relieve symptoms during treatment.
Symptoms usually get better within 10 days of the start of antibiotics, but if the symptoms worsen it may be necessary to change the antibiotic or stay in the hospital to do the treatment directly into the vein and prevent the infection from spreading throughout the body.
