Treatment options for redness

Again, identification of the cause of redness is probably the most important bit when we talk about treatment for redness. So, infective processes like cellulitis are managed mainly with antibiotic therapy and this is normally with oral antibiotics in the community. For patients who have more advanced cellulitis with concerning features like persistently raised temperatures, low blood pressures, high heart rates who are in sepsis and in patients at the extremes of age or immunocompromised or diabetic in any form, these patients may need to be managed in the hospital setting with intravenous antibiotics until an improvement is seen, following which they can be switched to oral antibiotics. The use of topical antibiotics or antibiotic creams generally does not help with cellulitis unless there is a very localized form of it. The inflammatory processes such as dermatitis are managed with topical creams, so if you've got dry skin that would be managed with emollients, if you've got eczema, psoriasis causing redness then you might need a specialist dermatological opinion, the use of steroid creams or more specialised creams for the treatment of that dermatological condition. In terms of venous problems, so chronic venous insufficiency, superficial thrombophlebitis and deep venous insufficiency causing redness and ulcers, that's generally managed with the use of stockings to reduce the associated swelling and improve venous flow, leg elevation and again keeping your legs well moisturised to prevent problems associated with this condition. you
