Dangerous Symptoms of Cellulitis

4. A skin sore or rash with an abscess with pus

Typically, a skin sore or rash that contains an abscess with pus is usually infected. If it is a minor cut or scrape, it may not require medical attention. It can usually be treated by keeping clean and covered with a bandage and an over-the- counter cream or ointment. However, if you are following this treatment protocol, and it is not getting better, you should seek medical attention immediately. If cellulitis is suspected, a strong dosage of prescription medication is needed to treat the sore or rash effectively.
