How to check for cellulitis?

If you’re looking for a way to check if you have cellulitis, there are a few things that you can do at home. Before we dive into those, let’s take a brief look at what cellulitis actually is.

What is Cellulitis?

Cellulitis is an infection of the skin and the soft tissues underneath it. It usually happens when bacteria enter your body through an opening like a cut or scratch on your skin. Some common symptoms include:

  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Warmth
  • Pain
  • Fever (hot!)

Okay, now that we know what we’re dealing with (hint: not a cute puppy!), let’s get down to brass tacks.

Check Your Skin!

Pay attention to any areas where you might have cuts, scratches or other injuries. If they start to swell up and turn red (STOP! RED ALERT!), it could be a sign that cellulitis is setting in.

Another thing to pay attention to would be wounds that don’t seem …to heal properly(UGH-ohh). This could mean the infection won’t go away on its own and needs proper treatment from medical professionals (and no offense meant self-proclaimed “wound whisperers” out there!)

Temperature

One way people measure feverish temperatures(the Irish will measure by reading tea leaves kidding! ) measuring their temperature using thermometers which in celcius should read between 36.5°C -37.5 °C but this range varies wherever Hopes & Dreams end-up; so check the manufacturer’s instruction manual just so everyone knows they don’t want burnt tongues over ‘natural curiosity’ Now back ontopic our focus here temperature fluctuates between fevers too chills as well.But how do these work together come into play?

When infections hit Home-base internally creating heat keeping war within our bodies to fight off diseases, and when fighting the woiz-crew disease overtime boosters heat or keep your temperature up so that you may visibly know something is happening in your body (you feel it!) This rise of temperature can help you detect whether a pesky infection has somehow slipped by (clap clap slip-n-slide!).

Swell & Discomfort

When infections ravage through our unsuspecting souls…you’ll probably experience some pain and discomfort in any affected areas. If it’s spreading like a fire 🔥 under control it’s best for you call the cavalry (ER) also known as Emergency room (Wink wink flashlights flickering across windowpanes from nearby Ambulances bring 9/11shivers.) swelling maybe inevitable, but try not to panic first because we all been there before(Legendary bumps on head stories). Just watch out for warning signs especially if they progress too quickly some of which may be subtle including de-colorization / oozing accompanied with burning sap sensation just double-check(Too hot Too Hot too HOT !!!!)

Skin Inflammation

While early stage cellulitis might come as an enigma,(discreetly)
As time goes by inflammation starts becoming more exageratted(unfortunate development ), guarantee enough stinging sensations…maybe struggle to walk hoping physical conditions are better tomorrow(in other words increases in severity rate ).

In case you have got cutting-edge dermatology equipment😳(Yeah right), inflammatiom often results into skin being warm or having red-spot-a-palooza with various external kinds of evidence. At this point, best bet is calling-in-the-troops

Seek Medical Attention!

All jokes aside,cellulitis requires prompt medical attentionuuuuhhhn(seriously). Without proper care and treatment, cellulitis could lead to serious consequences such as sepsis, amputation of a limb (hearing super scary music), and even death (STOP STOP).Don’t take the warnings lightly!

Final thoughts – In conclusion:

If you suspect that you may have cellulitis, don’t hesitate to see a doctor. Early detection could be an inflection point in your journey towards healing . So make sure to keep your skin clean, watch out for any signs of infection, and seek prompt medical attention!(Better safe than sorry off course)
