Under what circumstances is erysipelas prone to recur? Currently, the treatment of erysipelas adopts a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but erysipelas is prone to recur. There are two basic conditions that can cause recurrence of erysipelas.
Firstly, there is a break in the skin, allowing bacteria to invade through the break and cause infection. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent injuries, burns, frostbite, and fissures on the lower limb skin. It is also important to actively treat lower limb skin damage diseases such as dermatitis, athlete's foot, chronic ulcers, vasculitis, and diabetic necrosis.
Secondly, local skin resistance decreases. Common diseases that can cause decreased resistance include varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, filariasis-induced elephantiasis, and chronic skin malnutrition. These conditions can lead to local skin congestion, hypoxia, and poor circulation, resulting in decreased disease resistance and becoming an internal factor for the recurrence of erysipelas. Removing the cause, improving local oxygen deficiency and ischemia, and enhancing disease resistance can help prevent the recurrence of erysipelas.
In addition, excessive fatigue and prolonged standing should be avoided. In summer, avoid walking through rainwater. When the skin of the erysipelas area feels painful or itchy, do not squeeze or pinch forcefully. The affected area can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or heated vinegar baths to enhance local blood circulation. Taking medication to prevent recurrence is ineffective, and long-term use of antibiotics can lead to drug resistance and side effects. Immediate medication is required once signs of recurrence appear.
