What Is Erysipelas?
4. Symptoms
While erysipelas is not usually dangerous, it can still cause some very unwelcome symptoms. These include a fever, chills, and malaise. The presence of an infection can cause the patient’s glands to be working harder than usual and this can cause them to become swollen.
The infected area can become red and swollen, and there can also be a raised edge around the infected area. Blisters will also appear on the infected area in some cases. Erysipelas will sometimes be located on the patient’s face, and this can cause the patient’s face to become swollen, especially their cheeks and their nose.
