My friends son has cellulitis, she is taking care of him. i have stage 1vaginal cancer, im taking radiation treatments.is it safe for her to visit me?

There are a lot: More noxious bacteria living a few inches from your vagina in your own GI tract. So, you need to wash with soap and water, as should she. For your peace of mind and friendship, perhaps you should discuss and agre to "quarrentine" each other between now and when the cellulitis clears up. Xrt in the pelvis usually does not lower granulocyte count as chemo does.

Wait a few days: Just in general, i would stay away from someone with cellulitis, until their infection resolves. Some are caused by staph bacteria.

What's the cause ?: Cellulitis is basically a visible inflammation (itis) of the skin and soft tissues (red, hot, swollen and tender) . It can be caused by many things including sunburn (radiation), trauma (sprained ankle) or poor vein circulation (stasis dermatitis). It need not be caused by bacteria. If they have repeated episodes of this, get to a wound care or vascular specialist, the diagnoses is wrong.
