Here is some research I went ahead and did. It's the mechanism of Action of cellulitis, it's damage, risks and ways to treat it.

Mechanism of damage

• 1. Bacterial Invasion:

  • Entry and Spread: Bacteria, usually Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, enter through a break in the skin. Once inside, they begin to multiply and spread through the skin’s deeper layers, including the dermis and subcutaneous fat.

• 2. Immune Response:

  • Inflammatory Response: The body's immune system responds to the infection by sending white blood cells (such as neutrophils) and inflammatory mediators (like cytokines) to the site of infection.
  • Vasodilation and Increased Permeability: Inflammatory mediators cause blood vessels to dilate and become more permeable, leading to increased blood flow and leakage of fluid into the tissues. This results in swelling (edema).

• 3. Tissue Damage:

  • Inflammation: The inflammatory response, while necessary to fight the infection, also causes collateral damage to surrounding tissues. The accumulation of immune cells and inflammatory mediators can lead to tissue damage.
  • Enzymes and Toxins: Bacteria produce enzymes and toxins that contribute to tissue breakdown. These substances can further damage skin cells and extracellular matrix components.

• 4. Formation of Abscesses:

  • Pus Formation: As the immune system tries to contain the infection, pus (a collection of dead white blood cells, bacteria, and tissue debris) can form. In severe cases, this pus can accumulate and create an abscess.

• 5. Systemic Effects:

  • Sepsis Risk: If the infection spreads to the bloodstream (bacteremia), it can lead to sepsis, a life-threatening condition characterized by widespread inflammation and organ dysfunction.

Treatment of Cellulitis

1. Direct Methods to Treat Cellulitis:

1.1. Antibiotic Therapy

• Objective: To eliminate the bacterial infection causing cellulitis.
• Common Antibiotics:
  • Penicillin: First-line treatment for Streptococcus pyogenes infections.
  • Amoxicillin: Alternative to penicillin, effective against a broad range of bacteria including Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species.
  • Cephalosporins: Used for patients with penicillin allergies or in more severe cases.
  • Erythromycin/Azithromycin: Macrolides used for penicillin-allergic patients or in cases of resistance.
  • Clindamycin: Effective for severe infections and known for activity against Staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA.

Reasoning: Antibiotics target and eliminate the bacterial pathogens responsible for cellulitis, reducing infection and preventing complications such as abscess formation and sepsis.

1.2. Wound Care

• Objective: To prevent further bacterial entry and manage infected areas.
• Protocols:
  • Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the affected area with mild soap and water.
  • Dressing: Use sterile dressings to cover wounds and prevent contamination.
  • Monitoring: Regularly inspect the wound for signs of worsening infection or complications.

Reasoning: Proper wound care helps prevent additional bacterial entry and reduces the risk of spreading the infection.

1.3. Supportive Measures

• Objective: To manage symptoms and support the body’s healing process.
• Protocols:
  • Elevation: Elevate the affected limb to reduce swelling.
  • Rest: Encourage rest to support the immune system.
  • Pain Management: Use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or acetaminophen for pain and inflammation.

Reasoning: These measures help alleviate symptoms such as pain and swelling, supporting the body’s overall recovery.

2. Phytochemicals to Treat Symptoms and Prevent Sepsis:

2.1. Garlic (Allicin)
