Cellulitis treatment in Corregidora

Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and the tissues just beneath it, causing an area that is red, warm, swollen, and painful to the touch.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist and the infectious disease specialist, as well as the internist or general practitioner, evaluate these cases; in some instances a surgeon is involved.

Common symptoms: Spreading redness, local warmth, pain, swelling, and sometimes fever or a general feeling of being unwell.

When to seek care? If the redness grows quickly, a fever appears, or the area becomes very painful, a timely evaluation is important. It is advisable to show a professional any skin infection that is progressing, so the right care can be determined.
