Hi, does anyone suffer from cellulitis?
I was diagnose diabetic T2 in approx 2003, and since 2004 i have suffered with 2 bouts of cellulitis on each lower leg each year, THAT WAS UNTIL 2009, my doctor says there is no proven medical fact that backs up what i am doing and the disappearance of cellulitis, but he also says if its working for me, then by all means carry on doing it!
Cellulitis is caused by bacteria on the skin getting into cuts, grazes etc, so since 2009, after my morning and evening shower, i dry myself off, and use one of the alcohol based skin sanitizers and just cover my lower legs in it, as i say, there is no medical evidence that it works, BUT IT DOESN'T HARM TO TRY IT!
