Overview
Lymphangitis most often occurring as an acute complication following an extension from the skin infection, with the potential of a systemic spread, has to be promptly treated with appropriate antibiotics along with analgesics, anti-inflammatory medications, warm and moist compresses. Certain cases like nodular lymphagitis complicated by abscess and lymphedema with significant lymphatic obstruction may require surgical intervention.
