Cellulitis Explained
This bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissue causes a hot, red, swollen and tender patch that may enlarge quickly.
Signs of Cellulitis to Look for
- Skin that looks tight or glossy
- Redness that spreads over hours
- Fever or chills
- Pain or tenderness
Why Cellulitis Happens
Bacteria get in through a break in the skin such as a cut, bite, blister, graze or fungal infection between the toes. Holidays raise the risk through sea water, rocky shores and bare feet.
What to Know About Cellulitis in Lara
Lara’s hotel strip is built around sandy beaches and big pools, so sun and pool-related problems are typical. On beach holidays, heat, sun and swimming can aggravate many conditions, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been doing.
Travel Guide to Lara
Trip for travellers: Lara is built for beach days. Plan swimming, pool time and local restaurants, and book boat trips or day excursions through your hotel or a local agency. Shops tend to sell beachwear, souvenirs and leather goods.
