Symptoms of Erysipelas in TCM

Erysipelas leads to formation of a striking red rash with elevated borders. It can be easily differentiated from the adjacent skin. The infected skin may be warm to touch. In the past, it was commonly believed that erysipelas usually affected the face. However, current studies have indicated that the skin inflammation is distributed across the body, and the legs get affected in nearly 80 percent of patients. The rash can also occur on the trunk and arms. Symptoms and signs of Erysipelas in TCM include:
