How can I prevent cellulitis?: The Lindsay Leg Club Foundation

How can I prevent cellulitis?

Do not share personal items, such as towels, clothing, and razors.
Clean exercise equipment with germ-killing cleaner before and after you use it.
Wash your hands often. Use soap and water
Wash your hands after you use the bathroom, change a child's diapers, or sneeze. Wash your hands before you prepare or eat food. Use a simple moisturising lotion at least daily to prevent dry, cracked skin.
Wear pressure stockings as directed. The stockings are designed to support the veins in your legs. This improves blood flow and decreases swelling.
Treat athlete's foot. This can help prevent a bacterial skin infection.
