How Should Visible Redness Be Treated When Diagnosed With Cellulitis In One Leg?
Question: Yes I had celultus one my Leg year ago. Lately it has gotten redder in color no pain just visibly redder
Brief Answer:
Can be pigmentation or inflammation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After having cellulitis, the redness of the skin can be due to an inflammatory reaction in the area or due to a pigmentation. In case there is no pain and itching in the area then a pigmentation is more likely. However a direct examination by a dermatologist will help in confirmation of diagnosis.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
