My thumb got very hard after doing floral design. I was treated for cellulitis with doxycycline. After a few days, the thumb started softening and feeling much more normal again. It started to feel a little worse while I was still on the doxycycline but was sidelined with a head cold. After resting from the headcold for a couple of days, that's when the thumb seemed worse and I woke up with terrible ringing in the ears.

Oral antibiotics can be helpful as there is some infectious component, certainly if there is a periorbital cellulitis. Topical antibiotics have no real benefit, as Dr. O said, certainly not a poorly-penetrating drop.
Hello,
It can be due to insect bite or cellulitis skin. Cellulitis is an infection of the deep subcutaneous tissue of the skin. It can be caused by normal skin flora or by exogenous bacteria. Get an evaluation done from a dermatologist as you may need oral antibiotics.

m having trouble posting it anywhere else. I recently had an outbreak of cellulitis on my leg that spread quickly. I went to the emergency room where they sent me home on erythromycin. A day later, is was much worse and had spread down my leg, up my buttocks and below the knee. I went to my GP who then prescribed me clindamycin on top of the erythromycin and codeine for pain. When I was only taking erythromycin, my stomach was hardly upset, if at all.
My husband has diabeties and gets cellulitis because usually a diabetic's immune system becomes weak.
If the meds he is on are not working he needs to go back and see his Doctor, personally I would take him to hospital as cellulitis is very painful and spreads quite rapidly.
A Specialist treating my husband once mentioned to me that if my husband was going to contract cellulitis it would most likely come back about the same time every year.
Afternoon. I have had cellulitis in my nose for over a month.... took Bactrim, Clindamycin, and another 5 days of Bactrim.. which didn't help in the first place... but... i have this swollen membrane (i guess) from the tip of my nose about 1/2 inch back... it always feels like it is going to swell up again.... with no insurance another 125.00 is not what I want to pay since it seems like none of that helped anyway... anybody have any thoughts on this one???
If you have cellulitis in your foot how long should you stay off your feet for?
I have had cellulitis twice in the last eight months and the lymph nodes under my arms are swollen to the size of golf balls and very painful. My dr says that it's a result of the cellulitis and I will have to go on periodic antibiotic injections until the swelling goes down. What next?
s friends, it seemed fine and then two days later started getting really bad, well an iv for seven days later... Turns out I got cellulitis. I thought it was a fluke so I got another one done by him and same thing. After that I haven't had anything for a few years. Now bring to last year... I popped a pimple and ended up with cellulitis really bad on my face... Which happened two more times after that.
Hello,
What you seem to be having seems like cellulitis. Cellulitis is an infection of the deep subcutaneous tissue of the skin.Insect bite is a common cause of cellulitis. Skin on the face or lower legs is most commonly affected by this infection.
Cellulitis is characterized by redness, swelling, warmth, and pain or tenderness.Diagnosis is by clinical examination and blood cultures.
On January 16th, after popping an ingrown hair on my shaft, I developed fever/chills overnight, and my penis shaft swelled up tremendously in a few hours (all symptoms of cellulitis). No sores, just swollen. Doctor said he was certain it was cellulitis, and prescribed antibiotics which fixed everything.
After doing some reading, I found that cellulitis can affect people with HIV because of their weakened immune system. I guess it is the timing of all this that has me scared.
I have been to the dermatologist and he keeps putting me on different antibiotics each time. I have been on doxycycline, cipro and now levaquin. It clears up only to return after a couple of months or so. Will this ever go away eventually? He has never done a culture of any sort yet. Can my boxer bulldog be causing me to get infected? I never had this problem until we got her about 3 years ago. What can I do to make this go away for good? HELP!
My mother was diagnosed with breast cellulitis. Does this mean she could have breast cancer? She has had silicone implants in her for 25 years may this be the cause?

Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with HS about two years ago. It started as a few small pimples on my thighs and then under my armpits that eventually turned into nasty, inflamed, infected boils. This went on and off for a few months. My dermatologist injected corisone directly into the boils/bumps and put me on doxycycline, then oracea for about six months total.
