- Lesson on cellulitis and erysipelas: similarities and differences, pathogenesis, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and Complications. Cellulitis and erysipelas are both skin infections caused by bacteria, particularly most commonly caused by streptococcus and staphylococcus bacteria. Cellulitis and erysipelas differ in the layer of skin that is infected or involved in the infection. Furthermore, systemic symptoms are typically more involved in the erysipelas as opposed to cellulitis and they both have different timings of onset.
In this lesson, we discuss the risk factors of getting cellulitis and erysipelas, how to make the diagnosis of these skin infections, what antibiotics we use to treat each of these infections, and some of the complications of having these infections. We also discuss a variety of atypical bacterial causes of cellulitis depending if a patient was exposed to freshwater, saltwater, hot tubs or if bitten by a human, animal or tick.

3 ER docs diagnosed me with both of these conditions bc I presented with red, swollen ears.. turns out I was having an allergic reaction 😩😩 3 weeks on strong antibiotics for nothing.. they didn't listen when I said it was probably a reaction to something.. suffered nearly two months.. Prednisone finally saved me 🙏🏽 Thank God for the one doctor who listened.
Hi, for how long you were prescribed prednisone?
I am suffering from a similar problem, since 3 months, antibiotics arent working, no other medication working, its all started spontaneously one day after working on fields during rain and storm, with too much pollens etc in the air.
@@HimadriBhowmik Hi, I was prescribed Prednisone for 14 days.. started with a higher dose and tapered down..
@@KishBish thank you so much. Will try to convince some local doctor.
@@HimadriBhowmik they are usually willing, depending on your symptoms.. it just took me awhile to get the right meds bc it looked like I had an infection..
@@KishBish I have visited some ENTs, They have tried almost all possible antibiotics on me, from amoxicillin clavulanic acid to azithromycin to Clindamycin, to no avail, for last 3 months, all those caused diarrhea but no help with my symptoms, they even prescribed me meds for trigeminal neuralgia but nothing worked, recently i changed my ent and he has also prescribed antibiotics, all these when i have a history of chronic allergy related problems.
I'm medical student in Iran.
Your videos help me so much in my lessons!
Thanks Very much for the clear and concise well-explained videos. I have been watching your videos for the past 3 days about 3hours a day. very very clear. Thanks for all the effort
I have a cellulitis right now and on Day 2 on Clidamycin. Thank you so much for the fast yet straight to the point explanation of my condition. You earn a subscriber!
how are you doing now?
Thank you for the helpful information.
I have cellulitis on the end of my amputation site, not from the amputation itself, that was 29 years ago! But I got a tiny cut 7 days ago and now is super sore and swollen, 😢 started antibiotics and it's actually getting better after starting this morning!
I'm so grateful to be alive in a time where these medications to help ❤
More pictures would helped a lot more… plus what is likely the condition when it’s bilateral? Thank you!
Great explanation
Gosh. I guess I’m going to the doctor. Last week I woke up with a swollen ear. It was hot and hurt. I kept it clean, put antibiotic cream on it. After a few days it went away. This week I have some type of hot rash around my nose and my lower leg. I don’t have risk factors except kind of overweight.
Thank you as I for sure will see a doctor.
sounds a bit like an Id reaction?
Thank you!
Great, thank you!
Nice and Simple, Greet job

I have suffered with this for 2 months iv had my home hospital they were brilliant the nurse comes to your home and changes the bandages for me it's a debilitating disease l had 4 rounds of I.v antibiotics straight into the vein which l carried around with me in a pouch they gave me a new bottle till all 4 were gone I'm taking oral antibiotics now I'm out of hospital but the country home nurses come now . This is horrible the pain tender legs swelling so tight the sores just break open and start pouring with liquid very unpleasant I'm not out of the woods yet l have to be careful not to scratch as it has an attentive to come back. And really don't want to go back into hospital so there it is I'm home still so l wont be going any where iam so fed up and there is not much other than try and get your head around it

Thank you very much, I suspect That I have cellulitis, it started back in 2002 and I also have athlete foot. It kept coming back in every +/- 3 yrs. My biggest concern this year it occurred several times, it started in May till today. I am scared I might get infection on my bone. What antibiotics do I need to prevent infection
Tanks
Really knowledgeable, i am on clindamycin i have cellulitis and it is on going , mine is about 3 years now and it will reoccurring every year
Mine been happening on and off since i was 10 years old
@@litbabywop223I’ve had cellulitis a few times. What do you do to keep from getting it? Thanks
I'm fighting a second round
i had erysipelas on my leg 2 weeks ago after a bug bite. Took antibiotics and its healing nicely as of now. This is a really cool video, thanks!
I have the cellitisi skin infection after a tummy tuck how is it treated
This absolutely ligand !
Thank uuuuu
there are videos out there that explain how to treat these kinds of things naturally... it will take a lot more effort and work to get your immune system back to where it needs to be, you'll likely need to change your diet and start exercising and losing weight, but if you have a skin condition like this you really need to be doing all of that anyways.
the drugs he listed should only be used when there is no other option.
Cellulitis is not a skin condition like acne or eczema. It is a life-threatening infection that will kill you if left untreated. There is a time and place for antibiotics and having cellulitis is it.
듣고 있으면 빠져듬...
Wat u will miss him when u listen 🙄
Just had cellulitis from a yellow jacket bee sting.
I was hospitalized last October with my face very red and swollen and with a fever. Clindamycin did nothing, IV Vancomycin nothing- in fact my fever spiked to 103 and my face got more swollen and my eyes looked like blisters and were almost completely shut. IV Levaquin worked and I was put on a secondary antibiotic. Both of these were diagnosed but my GP , who saw me both days I was in hospital, ruled them both out. Still no diagnosis .My face still get red and warm at night.
Discuss Ludwig's Angina👍😀
I got it from magnetic eyeliner for lashes. I am a professional makeup artist and I was sent a high end brand too. I end up having blepharitis which never had before and I have an autoimmune disease so a little thrush and staph too. Nasty. Im about to lose my fucking mind.
I have this its super annoying and painful. Some wounds are healing andnew wounds are occuring . Some areas have healed over .the right foot is almost healed.the left foot has dime size new area that is weeping the other spots have healed over . No fever hirts to walk on it or stand or sit. Laying down seemsto be the best .
Hello.
I am sorry you had your medical issue. Would you mind telling me if you had a break in your skin that allowed the infection in? Did you have any infection that just formed without a scratch, bite, or poke?
Thank you in advance for your kind reply. I hope you are feeling better
hello sir can u explain me what the mechanism that erysipelas never pus formaion?
I don't have soft water but when I get into the shower and the water hits me it feels slimy in certain spots
I had cellulitis last year was behind ears at first...I don't use neddle except when Nurse takes my blood test to renew my blood
😮: I was diagnosed with Cellulitis a few weeks ago I went to the ER.. it was drained and I was given medication to heal. It’s been over 4 weeks that all this began. I noticed it back in Nov it kept growing I was in so much pain. Well Iam a bit worried and scared to be honest cause even thou I was given medication to fight the infection my boil was on my back. Now I have a bumb and it feels like I have pins and needles on my back on the the site of the infection. Can’t sleep on my back it also hurts when I put pressure and I feel a bumb. This is annoying.
How are you now ??
I hope that you went to the emergency room at your local hospital because you might need a round of iv antibiotics.. good luck to you

Never use a steroid cream on an infection it will spread the infection . Hope you contacted your Doctor.

Unilateral is one side of the body only, purulent means it has blisters/pus/drainage
