Hi All,
I've just gotten over a mild bout of cellulitis which I've never had before.
Started with a bite which looked like a mosquito bite, harmless small bite, by night it had a pustulate on it and by morning it was flaming red and huge. So went to ER they said it could be inflammation or cellulitis and gave me antibiotics, it's since healed, quite fast i might had, but left a weird bruised like area and a little ulcer yet to heal, I still have one day of taking antibiotics but now how do I deal with being cut again?
I get bitten by mosquito bites ALL the time, now everyone is going to put the living fear of death into me, they say once you get cellulitis you can get it again. How do you deal with this fear now?
What caused it?
Why did I get it?
I don't have diabetes, I'm not unhealthy - why did I get it?
Does it mean I have strep on my skin?
How do I not get it again?
Im kinda OCD as you can tell but now I'm freaking out about everything little thing I do, I have a pimple on my face that I squeezed, will that turn into cellulitis?!
HELP!
Anyone had cellulitis and then never had it back again!?????:unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure ::unsure::unsure:
