What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Cellulitis?
Question:
What are the signs and symptoms of cellulitis?
What are the signs and symptoms of cellulitis?
Brief Answer:
Possible diagnosis: cellulitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
The symptoms described are highly suggestive of cellulitis, which is a bacterial infection of the skin.
I understand that blood test done before revealed normal white cell count. However, a repeat blood count analysis and blood culture are warranted at this point. Pain may not be always pronounced in cellulitis, especially if you are diabetic.
The description you provided is indicative of severe infection requiring treatment with intravenous antibiotics. You can follow up with an Internal medicine specialist for initiating appropriate treatment.
Hope this answers your question
Let me know if you need further clarification
