What is erysipelas and is it contagious?
Erysipelas is an inflammation of the skin and lymphatic vessels caused by bacterial infection, commonly occurring in the summer and autumn seasons. It frequently occurs on the face and lower legs, with rhinitis and athlete's foot being the most common triggers. This is due to bacteria infecting the lymphatic vessels through minor wounds. Initially, the lesions are clearly defined, edematous, bright red patches with distinct edges, shiny surface, and increased skin temperature in the affected area. Occasionally, blisters or large blisters may appear, accompanied by spontaneous pain or tenderness and local lymph node enlargement. Erysipelas is not contagious and is quite sensitive to antibiotic treatment. The preferred treatment is penicillin for a duration of two weeks. Since erysipelas is prone to recurrence, it is crucial that the treatment course is sufficient.
The difference between prickly heat and chickenpox
Prickly heat is a physical skin condition that often occurs in hot and humid summer weather, related to excessive sweating, especially common among infants, the elderly, and people working in high-temperature environments. It appears in three types: white, pustular, and red prickly heat. Generally, prickly heat does not have systemic symptoms; it does not feature fever and is not contagious. Chickenpox, on the other hand, is a common acute infectious skin disease, mainly characterized by scattered erythema and vesicles on the trunk, face, and proximal limbs. It is contagious and has prodromal symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and muscle soreness.
