HollyDay Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I went to the doc today with a very itchy rash. He said it was cellulitis and prescribed an antibiotic and topical cream. I can't seem to find anything on the net about cellulitis itching. Anyone with any experience with cellulitis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yep. Just got over it. I use tea tree oil on mine topically. It works the best for me. If it spreads, I go to oral antibiotics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeetime Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes, my 6 year old had it a few weeks back. It was very hot and itchy and spread extremely rapidly. He was given oral antibiotics that cleared it up very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Thank you!!! This is like no other rash I've ever had! It has been over 100 degrees here for the past week, so I thought it was just "heat rash" or some such thing. But, nothing I tried OTC did anything to help!!!! In fact, it just kept getting worseI have no idea how I got it either. But, I really, really, really need it to go away FAST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I had it on my eyelid and I don't remember it itching so much but it hurt and was really puffy - looked like Droopy Dog in one eye. It did take 3 different antibiotics to get rid of it. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it's fully healed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
