A raised, sharply demarcated, rapidly spreading red area in a lymphedematous arm after axillary dissection is erysipelas, which is caused mainly by Streptococcus. Its treatment is the same as cellulitis, i.e. Penicillin G.
- Metronidazole (anaerobes), fluconazole (fungi), gentamicin (Gram-negatives) and acyclovir (viruses) do not target the streptococcal cause.
