Show notes

Dr. G explains erysipelas — the classic shiny, well-demarcated red leg — covering its causes (mainly streptococcal), distinguishing it from cellulitis and other mimics, initial investigations, and outpatient vs inpatient treatment strategies. Special considerations for people with diabetes (imaging, admission thresholds, and limb salvage), prevention of recurrence, and clear red flags for urgent surgical review are highlighted.
