Cellulitis Prevention

Avoid skin damage by wearing appropriate protective equipment when participating in work or sports. Also, clean any breaks in the skin carefully and watch for redness, pain, drainage, or other signs of infection.

Finally, maintain good overall health and control chronic medical conditions. A healthy body can more easily deal with and fight bacteria before they multiply and cause infection, while a body that is run-down has less natural cellulitis infection protection.
