Ooh, sorry: This can be a real problem! venous or lymphatic diseases can be predispositions. In some cases, antibacterial soaps may decrease the incidence and even prophylactic antimicrobial agents have been used.

Find the cause: Cellultitis is an inflammation (red, hot swollen and tender) of the skin and soft tissues. It can be cause by many things such as bacteria or sunburn or trauma all of which have different treatments. Depending on where it occurs and what is the cause, changes the treatment. If you keep having recurrences, the treatments are wrong, seek another opinion.
