Cellulitis Causes, Treatment, and Siddha Remedies

Cellulitis is a bacterial infection involving the inner layers of the skin. It specifically affects the dermis and subcutaneous fat. Signs and symptoms include an area of redness that increases in size over a few days. The borders of the area of redness are generally not sharp and the skin may be swollen. The legs and face are the most common sites involved, although cellulitis can occur on any part of the body. Those with diabetes, however, often have worse outcomes. Whatsoever the case may be, Siddha Spirituality of Swami Hardas Life System has the capacity to solve any problem of actual life and cellulitis also can be solved with Siddha remedies. Let us know in-depth for the well-being of every one of us. 

What is cellulitis?

Cellulitis is a type of bacterial infection that can quickly become serious. It affects your skin, causing inflammation, redness, and pain. This type of infection occurs when bacteria enter your body through broken skin. It can affect any part of the body, but it’s most common on the lower legs. This is because the lower legs tend to be most susceptible to scrapes and cuts.

Cellulitis Symptoms

Possible signs and symptoms of cellulitis, which usually occur on one side of the body, include:

• The red area of skin that tends to expand,
• Swelling,
• Tenderness,
• Pain,
• Warmth,
• Fever,
• Red spots,
• Blisters, and
• Skin dimpling.

Complications of Cellulitis

Potential complications may include abscess formation, fasciitis, and sepsis.

Cellulitis Causes

Bacteria

Cellulitis is caused by bacteria that enter and infect the tissue through breaks in the skin. Group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are the most common causes of the infection and may be found on the skin as normal flora in healthy individuals.

Dental infections

About 80% of cases of cellulitis of the submandibular space are caused by dental infections. Typically, this includes:

• Alpha-hemolytic streptococci,
• Staphylococci, and
• Bacteroides groups.

Insect or spider bite

Predisposing conditions for cellulitis include:

• An insect or spider bite,
• Blistering,
• An animal bite,
• Tattoos,
• Pruritic (itchy) skin rash,
• Recent surgery,
• Athlete’s foot,
• Dry skin,
• Eczema,
• Injecting drugs (especially subcutaneous or intramuscular injection),
• Pregnancy,
• Diabetes,
• Obesity, and
• Burns and boils.

Inner-layer serious infection

Reddened skin or rash may signal a deeper, more serious infection of the inner layers of skin. Once below the skin, the bacteria can spread rapidly, entering the lymph nodes and the bloodstream and spreading throughout the body. This can result in influenza-like symptoms with a high temperature and sweating or feeling very cold with shaking, as the sufferer cannot get warm.

Deep-layer infection

In rare cases, the infection can spread to the deep layer of tissue called the fascial lining. Necrotizing fasciitis, also called by the media “flesh-eating bacteria”, is an example of a deep-layer infection. It is a medical emergency.

Cellulitis Risk factors

Several factors put you at increased risk of cellulitis:

• Injury. Any cut, fracture, burn or scrape gives bacteria an entry point.
• Weakened immune system. Conditions that weaken your immune system — such as diabetes, leukemia, and HIV/AIDS — leave you more susceptible to infections. Certain medications also can weaken your immune system.
• Skin conditions. Conditions such as eczema, athlete’s foot, and shingles can cause breaks in the skin, which give bacteria an entry point.
• Chronic swelling of your arms or legs (lymphedema). This condition sometimes follows surgery.
• History of cellulitis. Having had cellulitis before makes you prone to develop it again.
• Obesity. Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing cellulitis.

Cellulitis Diagnosis

Cellulitis is most often a clinical diagnosis, readily identified in many people by history and physical examination alone, with rapidly spreading areas of cutaneous swelling, redness, and heat, occasionally associated with inflammation of regional lymph nodes.

While classically distinguished as a separate entity from erysipelas by spreading more deeply to involve the subcutaneous tissues, many clinicians may classify erysipelas as cellulitis.

Cellulitis Differential Diagnosis

Other conditions that may mimic cellulitis include deep vein thrombosis. 

Misdiagnosis can occur in up to 30% of people with suspected lower-extremity cellulitis, leading to 50,000 to 130,000 unnecessary hospitalization and $195 to $515 million in avoidable healthcare spending annually in the United States. Evaluation by dermatologists for cases of suspected cellulitis has been shown to reduce misdiagnosis rates and improve patient outcomes.

Cellulitis Prevention

In those who have previously had cellulitis, the use of antibiotics may help prevent future episodes. This is recommended by CREST for those who have had more than two episodes. 

A 2017 meta-analysis found a benefit of preventative antibiotics for recurrent cellulitis in the lower limbs, but the preventative effects appear to diminish after stopping antibiotic therapy.

Cellulitis Treatment

Antibiotics are usually prescribed, with the agent selected based on suspected organism and presence or absence of purulence, although the best treatment choice is unclear. 

Steroids may speed recovery in those on antibiotics.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics choices depend on regional availability. A course of antibiotics is not effective in between 6 and 37% of cases.

What will happen if treatment is not sought?

Without antibiotic treatment, cellulitis can spread beyond the skin. It can enter your lymph nodes and spread into your bloodstream. Once it reaches your bloodstream, bacteria can quickly cause a life-threatening infection known as blood poisoning.

Without proper treatment, cellulitis can also return. Repeated cellulitis can cause permanent damage to your lymph nodes, which play an important role in your immune system.

In rare cases, severe cellulitis infections can spread into deep layers of tissue. An infection of the fascia, a deep layer of tissue surrounding your muscles and organs, is known as necrotizing fasciitis, or flesh-eating disease. People with necrotizing fasciitis usually need multiple surgeries to remove dead tissue, often entire limbs.

Home remedies for Cellulitis

Cellulitis requires treatment with antibiotics, which are only prescribed by a doctor. But as you recover at home, there are several things you can do to ease any discomfort and avoid complications. These include:

Covering your wound

Properly covering the affected skin will help it heal and prevent irritation. Follow your doctor’s instructions for dressing your wound and be sure to change your bandage regularly.

Keeping the area clean

Follow your doctor’s recommendations for cleaning the affected skin.

Elevating the affected area

Lie down and elevate your leg above your heart, if your leg is affected. This will help reduce swelling and ease your pain.

Applying a cool compress

If the affected skin is hot and painful, apply a clean washcloth soaked in cool water. Avoid chemical icepacks, as these can further irritate damaged skin.

Take an over-the-counter pain reliever

A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve), can help reduce pain and inflammation.

Treating any underlying conditions

Treat any underlying conditions, such as athlete’s foot or eczema, that caused the wound that got infected.

Take all your antibiotics

With antibiotic treatment, the symptoms of cellulitis should begin to disappear within 48 hours. It may come back, and the second course of antibiotics may not be as effective as the first.
