CELLULITIS TREATMENT :
Treatment of cellulitis may involve :
- Antibiotics
- Dressings/Compression
- Medicines to increase blood flow
- Surgery in selective cases
- My usual protocol is to treat the cellulitis with non surgical methods. Only in cases where I consider that the situation may be Limb Threatening Or Life Threatening do I go in for surgery.
