During monsoon season, even small cuts, cracked heels, fungal infections or prolonged moisture exposure can increase the risk of serious foot infections.
What may begin as mild redness or swelling could develop into cellulitis - a fast-spreading bacterial skin infection that requires immediate medical attention.
Common symptoms of cellulitis include:
• Redness that spreads quickly
• Swelling and warmth around the foot or ankle
• Tenderness or pain while walking
• Tight or shiny skin
• Fever or fatigue in severe cases
People with diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy, wounds or weakened immunity are especially vulnerable during wet weather conditions.
Ignoring early symptoms can allow the infection to spread deeper into surrounding tissues, increasing the risk of complications and delayed healing.
