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.
Homeopathic Medicines for Cellulitis
Homeopathy medicines are very efficient in treating cellulitis. The medicines work wonderfully by increasing the immunity of patient thereby reducing the swelling, pain and burning in cellulitis condition.

Belladonna, Apis Mellifica, Ledum Palsture, Silicea, Pyrogenium, Calendula Officinalis are the top remedies.

Hi my dad only got his 1st Ulster on his leg 5 months now he has redness and swelling and more ulcers on his legs despite the doctors creams that he does use every day. I’m looking for something that will work on both ulcers and cellulitus. He also has a very stiff sore knee which could be arthritis. He took a slight stroke 3 weeks ago and the conditions on his legs have got worse. I would really appreciate any suggestions you can give me as my dad may be 82 years old but was quite active up to this. And maybe something that will build his strength up again from stroke as he is lethargic and legs are just shuffling about instead of lifting his feet. Thankyou

Dear Dr. Sharma,
Kindly advise for my cellulitis problem. Suffered from the said disease about a month ago. Immediately I consulted the allopathic physician and taken Antibiotics, Analgesics and Antacids. Now the upper portion of my leg is normal leaving swelling near the ankle only. Further after getting from night sleep there is no swelling and the same is after morning walk also. But standing for some time it swells once again. At times I feel pain like ant bites and skin is also sensitive. which medicine i shall use to get the ankle portion quite normal.

Hi
I would like to know the difference between endema and cellulitis? I know that endema mimics it ie redness swelling etc.
I am being told that I do not have an infection? Although I have redness, swelling and heat of the skin it has spread past my knee and is affecting both ny legs. Although I have been told this I still have been put on Keeflex
I would like to know what homeopathy treatment is best. As I feel that it is cellulitis I also have irritation. My legs have been wrapped but it is still spreading up my leg above the knee and is red hot and irritated. I do not have a temperature. Any help would be appreciated. JA
