Can you go in a hot tub with cellulitis infection?

No, you should not go in a hot tub with a cellulitis infection.

Cellulitis is a serious bacterial infection of the skin and underlying soft tissue. It can spread quickly, and can lead to complications such as sepsis, amputation, and even death.

Hot tubs are warm, moist environments that provide ideal conditions for bacteria to grow and multiply. This means that you are more likely to develop cellulitis if you go in a hot tub with an open wound or infection.

In addition, the heat from the hot tub can make your symptoms worse. You may experience increased pain, swelling, redness, and warmth in the infected area.

If you have cellulitis, it is important to see a doctor right away. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and rest. You should also avoid any activities that could aggravate the infection, such as going in a hot tub.
