Cellulitis ?

[hairymuffet]

Does this look like cellulitis?
Hubby's leg, he says its sore, it feels a bit warm to touch

I would say yes, it can travel very quickly, 111 or A&E. good luck

My leg looked like that a couple of weeks ago. I took some flucloxacillin that I happened to have. I would get it checked out asap.

Yes, I'd say so! Phone 101 but if he has a temp and is feeling rough get to a&e pronto.

Phone NHS 111
@duvetstealer 101 is for non emergency police.

Yes. My dad got sepsis from his and nearly died. I’d go to A&E.

Yes. It looks like it. I have had it. It can b very serious so act quickly

Go to A&E.. don't wait about

Eek. Please get medical attention quickly.

Very likely. Get it looked at. I was told to do the same after s spider bite by someone who had needed surgery to remove damaged tissue. I avoided that, but needed a long course of strong antibiotics.

Yes. Absolutely cellulitis. Go to a&e NOW. I speak from experience, having had this twice.

Hope all goes well - please report back and let us know how he gets on.

His toes are bruised, what happened?

I'd get it checked out , don't leave it?

To follow up, my dad was totally fine on a flight at midday and v unwell by 8pm the same day (Weds). Took antibiotics on Thurs, then bedbound. A doctor came out via 111 on the Fri evening and said it was our choice(!!!) whether to take my dad to hospital, which we did. He wouldn’t have survived the night, as it turned out. Don’t delay in seeking medical help.

Been to OOH Gp , flucloxacillin.

Any update, OP? Hope all is OK.

Did he get antibiotics? It’s definitely cellulitis
