Cellulitis

blackbox:
Hi mine came back again Friday knocked me for 6 this time sleeping all the time, during fri night got bad pain in left ankle skin tight and hot knew then what it was, straight to out of hour’s doc’s got flucloxacillin 500mg hope these work leg not good but better than some cheer’s bob

I have also had a recurrence but this time we didn’t bandage them up, just used stronger antibiotics and a wash solution. The skin is so badly damaged it never recovers sufficiently and new skin cannot grow in its place. I now take a daily water tablet to keep it under control but if I knock my leg or the dog jumps up it bursts open again. My friends dad died at Christmas through this thing even though they had removed both legs to stop it.

The hospital suspect it was Staph which triggered it
