Can cellulitis flare up on your ankles from the hot weather, is it dangerous to have while on blood thinners?

Depends: Cellulitis is an acute infection. It usually is treated or not treated or reoccurs. It usually requires proper treatment.

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 you have repeated episodes of this, get to a wound care or vascular specialist, the diagnoses you have is wrong.
