Ways To Treat Cellulitis

Compression Socks

If cellulitis occurs on a foot or a leg, your physician may recommend wearing compression socks. These socks are specially designed to keep fluids from pooling in your lower extremities. Compression socks can keep your circulation moving in your feet and up your legs through pressure. Every time you move, whether you are walking or just flexing your feet, the socks work sort of like a massage on your feet and legs to keep your blood flowing to your lower extremities. This pressure is not only good for keeping blood flowing, but to reduce inflammation as well. This is because the pressure acts sort of like a massage to keep excess fluids moving away from the affected area.
