I have had chronic recurrent cellulitis in legs since 2005-6. At least once, it turned out to be cutaneous diphtheria.

I'm. Recovery from Cellulitis to the skin on my leg 🦵🦵🦵🦵🦵. I have been on antibiotics since it started.

First thank you for this❤😊so I currently have this on in my right hand and index finger since last Thursday saw doc in urgent care Saturday it’s definitely getting better but man when is the pain gonna stop😢😢😢

Cellulitis is the most pain I’ve ever felt in my life! I swear it’s caused me PTSD. I think of the dibreeding and I cringe! I have to go in daily for them to pack and unpack the packing. That’s terrible also. Makes me want to throw up. I can’t take this anymore. I could barely walk and had to work with it. It started the smallest pin dot painful bump. I’m in disbelief in the level of pain I’ve felt. I have moments where I have flashbacks of me screaming while they debreeded it. Felt like I was being tortured.

I believe I have Cellulitis on my right butt cheek and it's very handicapping thank you so much for explaining it because at the hospital they just told me go pick up your medication from the pharmacy and these are the instructions for your medication.

Thank you Alyssa, your videos are really useful in nursing practice. Can you also make video about wounds infected with pseudomonas and their management? Thank you

I am currently on my second flare-up & it hurts sooooo bad. Yesterday (4/21) was my last day of covid quarantine as I had a fever that kept spiking up to 103.1* over a 4-day span. My husband took me to the ER to find out why the spiking fever for so long. (I've never been sick like this.) To add to the health issues, I woke up this morning with a second flare-up of cellulitis. I woke to swelling, warm to the touch skin, stretched skin, redness and pain so bad, and to make matters worse, it is also past my knee this time. Frankly, I'm getting tired of all this stuff going on, especially at the same time. :/ Anyway, it really, really hurts. One of my aunts had necrotizing fasciitis. I think it was somewhere between '97-'99. It was horrible to have watch her battle that, but she made it & without becoming a vegetable for the rest of her life or having huge areas cut out. There WAS an area cut out, but they didn't have to go all the way down to muscle or bone. When the NF, as I'll refer to it, started, it began as a small patch of warm redness that spread quickly within just a few hours. She was never diagnosed as having cellulitis. Instead, it was straight to NF. Unfortunately, she passed just months after my mom (her oldest sister) passed away in the same year (2016). I thank you for posting your videos about Cellulitis.

I had cellulitis on my leg it was awful so painful , was in hospital for two weeks on antibiotics intravenously four times a day , thankfully I got past it but my leg still doesn’t look like it used too you can still where the infection was , it’s something you won’t want to have

You explained very well my bike silencer goes inside my leg and i work 19 hours everyday not goes to doctor for few months now i am suffering with cellulitis

Can you get cellulitis in both legs? Also, when i went to a specialist, the specialist said it was lymphadema. My primary physician said it was cellulitis. It was leaking fluid, i have a lot of varicose veins. Could that have caused it? I'm starting to get itchy dry skin on my hands and the bottom of my feet? I have an unaboot on my left foot now. Just had it put on this morning. Very annoying and uncomfortable. I am wondering what a bad case of cellulitis looks like?

My son got bit by something last night and woke up with cellulitis on his hand this morning. Took him to urgent care and they put him on Bactrim and he’s had 2 doses so far.. but it seems to be getting worse.. and now he has a fever.. the spreading is moving up his arm now.. when should ( or even if) we go to er ?

Does. Cellulitis effects the elderly people most of the time ?

How can we treat blisters from cellulitis

Sounds scary 😨 😳 😬

Any note on length for recovery? Does this redness go away and how hong does it normally take. I have it on my left calf/ankle and it is healing but its swollen, red and has water pockets that developed and of course the skin is tight so walking is precarious, at best but once I get moving I am ok. I put in an ice water bucket and elevate it but just need some time line to gage my healing. Thanks for the video it was a great help. ❤
