Erysipelas is a type of skin inflammation infection, primarily involving the superficial lymphatic vessels. There are several triggers for erysipelas, such as trauma, surgery, etc. Generally, erysipelas tends to show symptoms such as fever, chills, nausea, etc. After contracting erysipelas, erythema often appears within a day, but the boundaries of the erythema are quite clear. Upon examination, an increase in skin temperature and skin tension can be observed. Erysipelas primarily occurs on the face or lower legs.
