Erysipelas and lymphangitis are two different diseases with significant differences. First, erysipelas is a skin disease caused by an infection of streptococcus bacteria. On the other hand, lymphangitis is usually caused by various parasites or microbes, including streptococcus or staphylococcus, and not just streptococcus as in the case of erysipelas. Secondly, the symptoms of erysipelas typically include general body symptoms, accompanied by skin redness and pain. In the case of lymphangitis, there is usually a red streak near a wound, and the color disappears when pressed. Therefore, both the causes and symptoms of erysipelas and lymphangitis are different.
