Body & Health.

If you have cellulitis, you easily learn its symptoms. Do not forget, that the cellulitis develops gradually, passing thus various stages. We shall briefly repeat the description of stages of a cellulitis:
Stage 1: the skin heals slowly, other attributes are not appreciable.
It is the pre-cellulitis stage, when everything is ready for its development. There are no visible attributes of a cellulitis on the skin, but scratches, cuts and bruises heal slowly.
Stage 2: the congestion of the liquid, the busted veins, change of color of skin, and the skin becomes thicker and sensitive.
Close survey of skin reveals breaks of the smallest veins and change of its color owing to infiltration of blood from the busted veins into fabric. Bruises can appear after the slightest impacts. When you slightly compress the skin between fingers, it seems to thicker and hardly more painful, than usually, attributes of “orange peel” are present.
Stage 3: occurrence of “orange peel”- you will see an attribute of a congestion of a liquid on skin surface even without compressing it. The skin (because of the accumulated liquid around hair follicles and sweat glands) becomes similar to an orange peel.
Stage 4: condensation, cold to the touch skin, breaks of larger veins, spontaneous occurrence of bruises.
There are condensation and the so-called folds on the skin. There are breaks of veins that are well shown on the skin below the sites impacted by the cellulitis. Bruises occur suddenly without the reason.
Stage 5: sites of a hot fabric - touching the skin, you feel hot sites among cold fabrics.
Stage 6: oleocysts - greater sites of a fatty fabric, braided with fibers, form oleocysts which spoil a normal figure.
Verdict
If you do not notice any of these symptoms, you can relax and take breath - you do not have cellulitis. If you learn only early symptoms, it gives the basis to assume, that your cellulitis is on rather early stage of development. It means that infringement of cells has not come yet too far and they will more quickly react to treatment.
If you see later symptoms (stages 5 and 6), it means, and that the development of cellulitis has come already too far. In this case try to be realist and as soon as possible address for the help to the doctor; any self-treatment can end with failure and avert you from the further attempts to get rid of a cellulitis. In this case we insistently advise you visit the doctor.
