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. Even in cases of cellulitis with bleb formation medicines works wonders that too very gently preventing the physical and mental trauma of surgeons knife intervention. In advanced complicated cases of cellulitis where septicemia has set in homeopathy holds a ray of hope in treatment according to well-selected medicines. Belladonna, Apis Mellifica, Ledum Palsture, Silicea, Pyrogenium, Calendula Officinalis are the top remedies.
1. Belladonna – For Marked Redness of Skin
Belladonna acts as a very good natural medicine for cellulitis where the skin is markedly red and swollen giving it a shining appearance. Patient requiring Belladonna will also experience pain which gets worse by touch. The character of pain is that it appears and disappears suddenly. Another marked feature where this medicine Belladonna can be used for cellulitis is dryness of skin with much heat.
2. Apis Mellifica – When Marked Swelling is Present
Apis mellifica is suited in those cases of cellulitis in which there is much swelling of the affected area along with much burning and stinging type of pains.

Undoubtedly the best remedy for cellulitis that has come after surgical cuts is Calendula officinalis. This medicine acts very efficiently not only as a curative but also as preventive for excessive suppuration/pus formation on the skin in cellulitis developing post surgically. If applied locally to the wounded skin after an injury it helps as preventive for cellulitis.

Hello sir mere face par skin infection type ka ho gya hai. Dono eyes ke Charo taraf aur pure face par red chakkte ho Jate hai aur bahut jalan padti hai aur red chakkte ubhar bhi jate hai koi help kijiye
Hello Doctor.. I have cellulitis on my left leg due to a deep cat scratch over a week ago. It is still quite swollen and at times painful though the redness has diminished some. It was scary so I went to the ER and am on antibiotics. I’m mostly into natural medicine but this time it seemed antibiotics were needed. My question is would it still be effective for me to use belladonna and/or apis mellifica even though I’m on antibiotics? I feel it needs all the help it can get! So far no blebs. I’m a 72 year old white female .. Thank you.
I am a 69 year white female. The skin on my arms itches and there are patches that feel bumpy to touch, it is not visible to the eye. Always feels best after a shower. I apply iodine mic d in baby oil which helps but after the days heat and presperation they begin to itch again. Any suggestions. Don’t know any other way to explain.
Good Day Dr. Sharma
Thank you very much for the information you shared with us. I believe this cellulites started to develop on my left leg in 2012 when I was cutting some small trees in my village, and it was summer time. I took the itching not serious but in three days later I to be admitted at hospital, actually they wanted to amputate my leg but I refused. The situation was worse. I don’t want my leg to be cut at all, I just need a cure by living I am in Joburg still looking for a Homeopathy Doctor because the thing is still paining, actually it goes and comes. I live by pain killers in most cases if I feel pain.
Please Dr. Sharma tell me where can find you for consultation. I need proper medication not this antibiotics they do not help me any more.

Hello. I am desperately seeking help for this downright evil ailment, cellulitus! It all started this past Labor Day weekend, when I contacted poison ivy while camping. I had poison ivy except a few before, but it was no big deal, and I thought this would be the same. Boy, was I in for a ride awakening. I tried using every natural remedy I could get my hands on, but it just kept spreading and eventually, covered both of my legs from the thigh down with oozing, peeling, painful terror! I finally gave in and went to Urgent Care, after 3 weeks of this nightmare when my ankle and calf were so swollen I could barely walk on my left foot. The MD said it was the 2nd worse case he’d ever seen in his 40 plus years of practice. He gave me a shot, and prescribed me to take 20 mg prednisone twice a day for 7 days. After the 7 days, it was a bit better, but I had started getting a rash in weird places that would come and go when I was anxious or agitated, so he told me to refill prednisone and take for another 7 days, which helped the poison ivy to finally go away, but made me psycho! I was hearing music and people who were not there, and would get very confused out of nowhere. I couldn’t remember how to use a gas pump one day, as an example. Things I’ve done my whole life were new to me. It was scary to say the least. After this, I still had swollen left leg and sores that were pus filled and wouldn’t heal. I eventually went back to him again (3rd time) and he gave me prescription for Clindamycin and I took it for 5 days, then refilled and took for another 5. This was the last time I saw the MD. It helped a little but I am still battling the swelling, peeling and there are 3 sores left, 2 of which have been there for 3 months now. I’ve used tea tree, lavender and coconut oil mixture rubbed on my legs which helped for a while, then stopped helping after about a month, tried taking ACV 2 TBSP 3 x day, and directly on the sores, to no real avail, started taking Tumeric w/milk and coconut oil 3 times a day, aAs well as cutting out sugar and carbs as much as possible, which helped a lot, but stopped seeing much improvement after about 3 weeks, then finally I got some Sovereign Silver colloidal silver and have been taking 5 droppers full under the tongue 7 times a day and applying it directly to sores, along with lavender oil and a natural healing salve containing calendula, echinacea, comfrey and more and then covering the sores with coloidal silver soaked bandages to almost heal all the sores!!! The swelling had gone down a lot, but still by the end of the day is pretty swollen, bit much better than it was, and tight leg has NO SoRES!!! Left leg has 3 left out of around 10 and they are healing once I stoped covering with bandages. I am so scared my legs are going to swell like this for the rest of my life and am scared if I run out of CS, it will get worse all over again. Please help! Am I doing it right or do I need more. I don’t want to end up getting my leg amputated bc of poison ivy!!!
