Suggest Medication For Cellulitis
hi was just wondering my lil guy who will be 3 in a month has had cellulitis for almost a year now, its pretty much all through him as he gets the lumps anywhere now where as before it was just his legs and hips. i have noticed that the last 2 months now though all it takes is him to fall and get a little scape for it to come back. a perfect example is yesterday well he was out playing he fell and scrapped both legs, an elbow and his hand(nothing big just a lil scape like kids his age gets all the time, well when he woke up today his wrist now has a cellulitis spot on his wrist which means he will start getting a bunch more as always. is there any side effect from all these out breaks he is getting because how young he is and is it a bad sign that he gets it that easy

recurrent cellulitis can cause damage in the lymphatic system , so in cases of recurrent cellulitis the skin should always moisturized, dry skin can be easily broken .
the use of prophylactic antibiotics like penicillin is very helpful in preventing future cellulitis
I hope this helps
