A member asked:
Should i avoid swimming in a public salt water pool when having an active lichen sclerosis flare with an open lesion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CELLULITIS: Yes, to avoid Cellulitis (a superficial skin infection ), that can be caused after an abrasion or rupture of a boil or underlying skin lesion. I also would suggest getting retested for food and environmental allergies by blood and skin testing . Evaluation for RA /LUPUS and IMMUNE SYSTEM is also warranted.
