Abstract
Background: Cellulitis is considered as a one of the common acute skin infection which
causes pain, swelling and erythema. Moreover, it may carry a socioeconomic burden. Recently, 5%
potassium permanganate dressing solution has been extensively used as a trustworthy antiseptic as
for many types of wounds. Aim: to determine the efficacy of Potassium permanganate dressing
solution on accelerating cellulitis healing process. Design: Quasi-experimental design. Setting: At
inpatient surgical department at Alexandria Main University Hospital. Subjects: a convenience
sample of 40 adult cellulitis patients of both sexes. Results: no statistically significant difference
between both groups during the 1st assessment was found. During 2nd and 3rd assessment, there were
statistically significant differences in the study group over the control group in most items of
cellulitis severity assessment. Conclusion: 5% potassium permanganate solution as a topical
