Erysipelas is an infection involving superficial lymphatic vessels of dermis, and the main pathogen is group A β hemolytic streptococcus. The inducing factors are surgical wounds or fissures between nostrils, external auditory canal, earlobe, anus, penis and toes. Any inflammation of the skin, especially chapped or ulcerated inflammation, provides a way for the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. Mild scratches or scratches, head injuries, unclean umbilical cord ligation, vaccination, chronic leg ulcers, etc. may all lead to this disease. Pathogenic bacteria can lurk in lymphatic vessels and cause recurrence.

1. systemic therapy: penicillin is the first choice, and the course of treatment is 10 ~ 14 days. People who are allergic to penicillin can choose macrolide antibacterial drugs. In the active stage of lymphangitis in patients with recurrent erysipelas, large doses of antibacterial drugs are effective, but it takes a long time to maintain intermittent low doses to achieve complete results.

2. Local treatment: various antibacterial drugs can be applied externally on the surface of skin lesions. Compression therapy can reduce lymphedema and help prevent recurrence. Physical therapy can be supplemented, such as narrow-wave ultraviolet irradiation.

3. Surgical treatment: plastic surgery can be recommended for persistent hard edema that is ineffective in the above treatment schemes.
