What are the ways to prevent cellulitis?

Answer 1

Very good question, indeed! This type of question was my main reason to start with answering. So, let's start! Recurrence rate for type of disease is 30-50 % and education about prevention is strongly recommended.

General notes about prevention can be found all over internet but I'll write some of them here:

- avoid waking barefoot on messy surfaces like woods, garages etc.,

- proper personal skin hygiene is most important tip for cellulitis prevention,

- sturdy, comfortable shoes, fitting cotton socks too,

- people who already experienced cellulitis must seek for medical attention if they notice inflammation on skin for 1-2 days and advances from one day to next

- protection from minor skin troubles is important too and proper protection in case of them ( washing and cleaning with constantly checking after in period of 3-5 days)
