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.

Sugar level in any case needs to be maintained below 140.
Ciplox, brufen, chymoral forte, Mega CV 500 mg (morning Evening – minimum 6 days or till its not cured)
if there is wound try to drain it from pus for antibiotics will work fast if the pus is drained.
Take a mixture of Epsom Salt and Glycerin and dip gauge in it and bandage the wound. this will try to move pus out of the wounds.
Eat Garlic

I am suffering from an unknown skin rash from the past 6 months. Symptoms include: Temporary itchy/painful blisters on the skin, usually on the hands and feet. The blotches that occur in the palms and feet are very painful. Affected area turns red and hot to touch. The itchiness lasts for about an hour and then gradually vanishes. I had consulted many doctors, almost everyone has put me on anti-histamines only. None of the symptoms appear for 2-3 days after taking anti histamine, but symptoms repeat after that. I have no other health issue. Kindly give me a suggestion please.
