Where is your re-occuring cellulitis? Does it follow a pattern at all?

I have one patient who has had recurring cellulites for years. It often recurs, especially in people with conditions such as a fungal infection or diabetes. Recurring infection in the legs can cause a condition called elephantiasis, with a gross enlargement of the skin and underlying tissues in the legs. There is no apparent reason sometimes for this condition, but small scratches, bug bites, simple injuries can cause exacerbation. For example, a person who gets this illness in their arms all the time can promote recurrence with nail biting. You get the picture? Try to avoid risk behaviors that may cause it. This may not stop it totally, but it will perhaps reduce it.
