Cellulitis is a very common bacterial skin infection in which there is inflammation of skin and connective tissue. Cellulitis can occur on any part of the body but face and lower legs are the most common site for cellulitis. Homeopathic medicines for cellulitis treatment are very effective in fighting out the bacterias without the using antibiotics .
Cause of Cellulitis
The main causative agents for causing cellulitis are Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphyloccus aureus bacterias. In healthy condition the skin act as a protective barrier against infectious agents, preventing their entry into the body. When the integrity of skin is broken due to various factors like insect bite, cuts, scratch marks, injuries, surgical incision etc, the bacteria gain entry into the body through this broken skin and leads to inflammation of skin and connective tissue. People with diabetes mellitus, suppressed immune system and venous stasis are more prone to cellulitis.
Symptoms of Cellulitis
The main symptoms of cellulitis include redness, swelling, heat and pain in the affected area. As the disease advances blebs and bullae appear on the skin. Blebs and bullae are fluid containing eruptions on skin. At this stage fever occurs. If the condition is not properly treated at this stage then it goes further deep into connective tissue and gains access to the lymph nodes. Then the infection spreads to blood leading to septicemia or blood poisoning which is a very critical condition.

It’s started as a itchy boil which I scratched on my chin. I then traveled 6 hrs from b.c.to florid where 24 hrs later my chin was the size of a golf ball. My chin and neck swelled out with severe itching which it started to ouze and have little white spots all over chin . The hospital said cellulitis to not put anything on it and take 7 days of amox . My chin turned brown and scabed over and then a layer of skin came off. I still was so itchy and it felt as if my neck and face had fluid under the skin. I went back to doc and she said staph and to take 10 days doxycycline .. I have taken both pills and my skin is still itching and burning and my chest gets red and inflamed .. I don’t want to take more pills . Please can you suggest a remedy as to what this is also 🙂

I am a diabetic since 2005, diagnosed during an ordinary check up for undergoing cataract surgery. I am on glimepiride 1 mg since then. In 2007, I had a heart attack for which I take Losar H and Aztor 5mg. These are daily medications. But apart from these, I have been dependent on Homeo medicines exclusively, for all incidental, small, big problems for the last 12 years. Since July 2012 i have had three incidences of cellulitis for which I have been treated with Rhus tox 200, 1M and Bacillinum 1M. Now , it has recurred. What remedy or remedies can help prevent future occurences? Every time, it has been dry fever without sweat or thirst coming after chills, redness of skin on legs and swelling with pain and aggravation on touch.
