What are the Cellulitis Healing Stages? Cellulitis is a condition of infected skin and the soft tissue lying beneath it. The infected area is warm to the touch, red, swollen and painful.
It's caused by bacteria that enters the body through a puncture, cut or wound. The infection spreads from the center of the sore forming large, red blotches. Cellulitis can be fatal if it spreads to the lymph nodes or bloodstream. Cellulitis can appear anywhere on the body, such as: On the neck, feet, head and shinbone, while feet are the most susceptible.
What are the symptoms?
Skin puncture, wound, sore, red infection, inflamed, swelling and dirty wound. As well as poor circulation, tenderness, pain, abscess leakage and swollen eyes. Other symptoms include fast growing itchy and painful rashes and sores. Severe symptoms include: lightheadedness, lethargy, and aching muscles. As well as fever, chills, nausea and vomiting.
Hmm... what are the causes and risks?
Skin breakage, blood glucose problems, obesity, old age, strep, staph infection. As well as HIV, eczema, psoriasis, chicken pox, shingles, hepatitis, and boils. There are many causes, but skin breakage is always at risk. Emergency risk: lymph node soreness, which can promote a flesh-eating bacterium. Serious causes: increased pain or pus, growing abscess, and growing infection. As well as high fever and chills, loss of hearing, and numbness.
What are the treatments?
All cuts, scrapes and wounds, large or small, should be treated quickly. An ultrasound may be needed to locate the abscess or vein thrombosis. Helpful tips in understanding treatment options include: Keep wounds clean, moisturized, and apply the appropriate antibiotic cream. Protect wounds with applications such as Vaseline or protective substances. Protect wounds with bandages and replace periodically or when scab forms. Monitor wounds for dirt and debris and always wash hands before touching it. Take pain relievers if needed and seek medical advice for something stronger. Raise infected area higher than the heart level when possible. Do not swim until wound is healed and avoid activities which can cause wounds. Wear loose fitting clothes so you won't cause chaffing or pain on the infection. Seek blood tests, x-rays, and cultures to identify bone infections or gangrene. Check white blood count, infected wound fluid testing and dead skin removal. Depending on the severity of the abscess, surgical drainage. Prescribed antibiotics and steroids, via IV.
There is a growing number of MSRA breakouts each year. MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) a strain of staph infection. It can appear like Cellulitis and can cause Cellulitis forming abscesses. If it doesn't cause Cellulitis, it can be treated in the same way.
How can Cellulitis be prevented?
1. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
2. Immediately treat athlete’s foot, nail fungus and all other infections.
3. Keep skin moisturized, from head to toe.
4. Check your skin for any cracks daily.
5. Drink a lot of water, medication can dehydrate the body.

This video is titled “cellulitis healing stages” and nothing about healing stages is mentioned...and yea the non relevant animation got annoying after a while
If only doctors would prescribe a standing order for antibiotics when the cellulitis first starts, we could cut the duration short & prevent further complications.
My Dr has finally done this for me after having it reoccur 3 times this year - 1 time was very bad and nearly went necrotising - but it took me another 6 months and 2 more attacks for him to do it! I now have a box with 2 types of antibiotics and pain meds so when it next starts up I can get them statrted as I know hours before the Dr or hospital will even speak to me which is why it always gets worse :/ fingers crossed next time it gets under control before it gets bad!
I don't understand the relevance of the animation with the information being given.
The ONLY relevance it has to the information being given is the fact that one VERY geeky four-eyed dweebie is responsible for putting it all together in one banal piece of nerdy "pop-garbage!!!"
Josh Kreydatus P&H Just to get your attention
This video has nothing to do with "Cellulitis Healing Stages." Rename it at least.
Exactly! Lol
NOTHING in this video was about the “healing stages” smh
The animation in this presentation has absolutely nothing to do with the content and actually degrades the video by distracting the viewer from the content that needs to be communicated. Very poor.
I can agree with this. I just ended up ignoring the animation after a short peroid.
I was trying hard to pay attention to the topic because I was tapping so hard to the music. LOL… Great advice
... helpful - thank you !
You didn’t discuss the lasting red pigmentation, which can last long after the cellulitis has healed. I still have redness in my shin that I would like to get rid of.
I cured my cellulitis in about 60 seconds here is how. I had a patch of cellulitis on my left arm starting at my elbow going down my forearm, only a small patch, about 5cm around. I was given antibiotics, it did very little, the patch grew to about 10cm, it was deep and extremely painful, not agony, but just constant annoying pain making it hard to sleep. Eventually after a week of little sleep (and poor judgement) I decided drastic measures needed to be taken. I work as a bus mechanic, I was at work alone one night and I found a first aid kit with bandages and iodine inside. I turned on the grinder that has a wire wheel attached and took off my shirt. I guided the spinning wire onto the area of the cellulitis. To my amazement there was no pain and I watched as the flesh looked like the inside of salami. It didn't bleed initially for about 30 seconds. I noticed 2 small patches of white and squeezed them like a pimple, this is when the bleeding and pain started. I pored iodine onto the wound and this had a bit of a sting to it then the bandage. I then continued my job for the night. By the morning I had finished my fork, but as usual I had grease on my clothing and the bandages, but the relief from this constant pain was a true blessing. I got home took off the bandages and gave the wound a good look at while taking a shower, I was impressed with my work, all the little white puss patched were cleaned out nicely, just fresh flesh visible. I use an antiseptic soap anyhow, so I can imagine this also helped the situation. I put more iodine on the wound and fresh bandages then went to sleep, about 7-8 hours later l noticed that the wound was watery and weepy, I gave it a good squeeze like a pimple and about 5ml of watery slightly cloudy liquid came out, again fresh bandages and iodine then I went to work again. The following day after work I took another shower and the wound looked fantastic, it was clean with no issues, no selling, not even feeling warm. I didn't bother with the bandages or iodine, I just went to sleep. The wound healed on its own very quickly, I didn't waste time with the antibiotics that had failed so badly, I just healed.
Some of you might be thinking my actions were a little stupid, perhaps you are correct, but one thing I can tell you is "if I get cellulitis again, I will get turning on my wire wheel on the grinder, to fix the job. Some of you might be asking, did it leave a scar? Well I'm half Hispanic and half white, sadly I scar very easily, I has a small cut in 1992 that did not require stitches and 30 years later it's still there. The grinder scar however is nearly invisible, in the right lighting you can see it.
WARNING if you have a weak stomach do not read the next part..... I probably should have said that before.
The following day at work after I did this the boss asked "did you from any food on the grinder or around that area?" Of course I said no as I eat my food in the lunch room. He explained that a number of ants had came into the workshop during the day and were eating something around the grinder.
u r lttl bit crck😂
Thank you for the great advice . Very informative
I watched the video and a small mention on healing. The cartoon also confused me. It does not correlate to the text. It is informative as I have a celullitis at the present time and it has been nearly 4 weeks. I had 4 days IV antibiotics and just completed oral antibiotic and Neurofen for swelling. I am wanting to know if my celllitis is now in the healing stage, but there's nothing in your video. Thank you anyway as the information provided is correct.
Did you recover ? Because I am suffering from 6 weeks on stomach post surgery , I am on antibiotics. Right now having amoxicillin
@@zohashah1187tell me do you have swelling but abscess starting to go away
How about follow up treatment of cellulitis in the neck, because of severe toothache?
I currently have Cellulitis on my right leg just above the knee. I thought it was a blood clot, because the symptoms were so similar, including a bump. My worst symptom is the pain caused by swelling. That always does me in.
It is thought I may have contracted Cellulitis because I have two healing venous ulcers on my right foot. I've had several venous ulcers over the past few years, but I never received an infection quite like Cellulitis from one of them. Which leads me to wonder how it traveled from the foot to above the knee.
A doppler was performed because of its similarities to a blood clot. The doppler is the type of ultrasound used to detect DVT and other blood clotting conditions.
Vaseline was also suggested to me to help keep the areas clean. But the real treatment was with antibiotics. At first, I was prescribed Clindamycin and then I was prescribed Cephalexin, at first in conjunction with the first one, and then on its own.
Luckily, gangrene and abscesses have not shown up. Maybe I'm too young and an otherwise healthy person.
After a week of contracting Cellulitis, it is healing. I think I might have another 1/2 week to go. 7-10 days is the usual estimated time for Cellulitis to heal. So I am on tract. Thank goodness!
If you know someone who gets Cellulitis, I'm sure they would greatly appreciate any assistance. Especially if it is on one of the extremities, hands, or feet, it takes careful thought, many times the duration, and some planning to accomplish everyday activities, such as going to the bathroom and cooking a meal.
@fansid sid i don't know. Sorry
Fatima sid I imagine so, it has affected my joints making them stiff & tight.
I agree. I am dealing with it now in my lower right leg and foot. Ive been wrapping it and elevating when I can. In the morning I wake up and its fine. Then 2 to 3 hours later its blown up again. Do wrapping has really helped to keep the swelling somewhat under control.
Thank you so much for your post. I am going on day 3 with antibiotics. The first day was IV now I am taking Cephalaxin and Bactrim by mouth. I have no open sores. I am nervous and in pain.
Totally off topic but this music is awesome, do you have the name and artist?
I wanna know too
Found it, Malmo- This is Nature
Helpful video but the music is distracting and hard to read while it's playing and when you're in pain you don't want to hear this annoying and repititous sound...
Having Shingles Herpes Virus (HSV1&2) is not the end of life , I got cured after using Doctor Ani John herbal supplement within 14days..
Big infection currently, so painful 😫 😩 😞
How are you now ?? I am suffering from this ,
What do you mean by raise infected area higher than the heart??
It means if you're lying down on your bed or sofa, and you have the infection in your leg or foot somewhere then raise the level of your infected leg or foot to higher level at a degree of 45 by putting some pillows underneath. By this the inflammatory process naturally starts diminishing.
The video: you could die from this
The music: 💃🏼 🕺 💃🏼
I had cellulitis one month ago. I was in hospital for 8 days on IV antibiotics and then was sent home for 7 days of antibiotics oral. The blisters have been cleared, the damaged burnt skin has been removed by wound care nurse, but the redness is still there, it’s not warm, and I’m able to walk properly,
When does the redness go away?
How does blisters gone do they popped or gone away on its own
What is tracking cellulitis
I got a nasty scrape on my arm and it developed cellulitis. I’m trying to see if it’s healing properly, this video wasnt much help.
I'm worry about my mom she had cellulitis really bad on her one leg
It contains all basics
Awesome ...
Iv have red swollen fingers for years. It never got worse. I got used to it and never went to Dr.
Looking into cellulitis, it's sounds like that's what I have. Though it hasn't gotten worse. It doesn't hurt me very much if any. No fever nothing.
My Ana test is positive. Idk if that matters.
So why would my Dr miss this if it's what it is... I'll talk with him soon.
My hands look bad red swollen fingers, no wounds though. in cold they are less swollen though darker color. In heat they get really red and swollen.
I can use them just fine, they don't hurt. They look very bad though. Anyone have any thoughts?
No, we do not have any thoughts, just go see a doctor! You've been having this problem for years and you've never got to a doctor? Jeez...what is wrong with u?
@@cdana2809 yes. I did. An autoimmune disease.
It hurts sooo bad
I’m better, never been through anything like that. I worried , such a strange sickness. I had it in my wrist and hand, my fingers are still swollen and fingertips hot, but the pain and pressure is gone
I've been researching exercises to lessen cellulite and found a fantastic website at Abeqa Home Treatment (look it up on google)
Big difference between cellulitis and cellulite...
Great and to the point information. Although the animation is confusing as Hell (but I guess it can be ignored).
Bonus points for havine an absolute banger in the background.
I dont have a sore. 4 days ago i went to my doctor with swollen feet and ankles. She put me on antibiotics but nothing has improved.
Hows it now? I got cellulitis on my shin and was put on antibiotics still have a red scar but its not painful or swollen anymore
@@lewispalmer3339 Hey I just started my antibiotic, I dont mind the scar just want the pain to and swolleness to go away. How long did it take?
Good vid very informative since this what i ended up having the other day. I had ppl telling me gout 🤔🙄 thas why i dont like to believe ppl when it comes down to these thigs unless they have had an issue and experienced it themself, otherwise everyone ends up bein a fuxkin docter lol

Where is the stages of healing? The animation is out of topic! Wasting my time even to watch this video!
❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I got out of the hospital 3 weeks ago after being in for a month with Cellulitis. I had knee replacement surgery Sept. 5, 2019. By Oct 8th I was in hospital. Just how long does it take to get your energy back? I still feel like a mack truck ran me over.
Juanita Sullivan Going through the same thing and I’ve been scared. It’s just so exhausting and I’m on my last meds still seeing symptoms. Hope they go away and we feel better.
@@MissCflyaway how are you now
I got a cellulitis 8 days after my total knee replacement because I came down with a bladder infection a day prior and the bacteria migrated to my knee. I am on antibiotics for a month. I couldn’t even tolerate a bed sheet lying on it. I knew something was wrong because the normal bruising on my knee was getting darker and the knee was super hot to the touch- but mainly because I had been using a cane and suddenly became so painful that I regressed back to a walker and put no weight on the leg. I am prone to bladder infections and doctor said any future ones can cause a cellulitis or joint infection in the future. So scary.
@@heavenlytourch3940Sorry for such a late reply but only now seeing your comment. I'm ok. No outbreak since I got out of the hospital at the first of November 2019.
@@juanitasullivan3372 good to hear! I first stared getting this pimple looking like things on the side of my abdomen, got a really bad one on my back and elbow, I got antibiotics for both of them, just finished series of them back in February and now in April just got a new cellulite infection, I am really hoping they won't come back as I keep getting them, they culture them back in January and they came back for regular staph not MRSA but I really don't understand why I keep getting them even after finishing antibiotics and following all the medical recommendations, very scared and nervous
what about swollen legs witch cannot bend
Always be sure to consult with your doctor and family before making any medical decisions.
Helen Botha, my fiancé had it so bad, he went to therapy where they’d wrap his lower legs, then he wore a type of stocking that had copper in the elastic, omg his leg swelling decreased to where his lower legs were skinny. Before this treatment his lower legs were almost the size of an elephants leg & liquid poured from is legs making his jeans soaked. I don’t know if he was on antibiotics or not.
the shit do these animations have ANYTHING to do with the topic???
Mine healed but left a big mark and my leg is fatter than the other. What else can I do?
Arthur Raymond, buy some compression stockings, the kind that come to your knees. I bought myself some for swelling & they returned my ankles back to normal.
Hi! That's Good news yours healed already. I am currently taking antibiotics. My wound hasn't fully healed yet, it got definitely better than before. It's just that, im on my last dosage for this week (Dr. told me to take clindamycin for 1 week). Do I just buy more of the antibiotics that was prescribe to me or do I just wait for it to completely heal?
I would appreciate feedbacks, thanks a lot.
When it first happened it was really swollen on one side about a baseball size, the next day i went to the ER and they checked blood and gave me prescription pills. Swelling went down but redness got bigger. And i have a bubble of puss. What should i do or whats happening?
Is it getting better or getting worse. My blood on Tuesday checked out good
You may want to seek for 2nd opinion.
I have cellulitis and I don’t have a cut or anything but it’s in my lymphnodes and it’s really bad and antibiotics aren’t working it’s getting worse
I know a doctor who can help cure you permanently he cured me with herbs and it worked
@@lanapatche1778 which herbs if you don’t mind sharing
I have exact same problem. I'm taking antibiotics Keflex, it is not working. Things seem to get worse. What is the remedy?
@@AshmithSingh i have cellulitis on my second roundof antibiotics it atarted in my left leg now has started in my right leg. I had this in my left leg year before last.. i hope i can get rid of this ..its itchy swollen. Painful.. it peels too. I clean it 2xs a day with Hibaclens. Thats what my primary. Care Dr suggested..plus i heard about using organic coconut oil. I read also about t ree oil too. I am age 63.. this is a bit scary..
@@joanncoopertroupe3506 I bought tea tree oil and applied it to my right leg shin overnight. Redness went away briefly but came as I woke up and started doing daily tasks, by evening it was red again, pain never vanished. It might be too early, I might have to apply it for good 15 days to see results.
Ahh I just got out of the hospital from this. I had it so bad that it entered my bloodstream. I wish I new to come in to the doctors earlier cuz I could have prevented everything
Same here, mine happened early this week. It gotten into my bloodstream. GP prescribed antibotic wasn't strong enough that I had to admit into the hospital for IV antibiotic. Got lucky I went to the emergency earlier. I'm now on oral antibiotic.
In how many days
@@Qimama Hope you got rid of it.
music too annoying couldn't watch
Castile foaming hand soap with eucalyptus and tea tree has worked the best for the cellulitis and folliculitis on my forearm so far.
It killed the bad bacteria and allowed my skin to heal and naturally exfoliate as well.
I used it 3 times a day and especially in the shower with very warm water so the natural ingredients could go deeper into the skin layers. Just gentle massaging as you wash the area works.
Just make sure to moisturize with coconut oil or a carrier oil afterwards to keep the skin hydrated.
I got this at Sprouts and you can get it any health foods store or Whole Foods. Go buy this now!
The first week of boot camp a guy got cellulitis during boot camp in Parris Island in my platoon when the di saw it he was like what DF is that. The guy with the cellulitis said it was cellulitis. The SDI was like HELL YEA. No one laugh until that di left and we all burst out laughing
This isnt what the video is about
What a bad video with some many generic statements - don't watch this.
Keep your tetanus shots updated. Every 10 years
There are several suggestions for curing cellulite
Consume larger amounts of water - assists in to detoxify
Cut down salt and or changing to use Celtic Sea or Himalayan crystal salt
Avoid unhealthy fats
(I discovered these and the reasons they work on Vals Skin Magic site )

Very poor taste using this video and music to make light of something miserable and painful
Awful music
