The infection developed after Lawrence “smashed up” his leg a few weeks prior, the athlete explained. Skin that looks red and swollen or is painful, warm and tender to the touch is a sign of the infection, along with “pitted” skin, “like the peel of an orange", the New York Post noted. According to the NHS, cellulitis can be serious if not treated quickly, spreading to other parts of the body, such as the blood, muscles and bones. "Cellulitis makes your skin painful, hot and swollen. The area usually looks red, but this may be less obvious on brown or black skin. Your skin may also be blistered, and you can also have swollen, painful glands." In more serious cases, it can lead to full-blown sepsis, which could be fatal or require amputation of the affected limb, the Post noted. “A ton of people were trying to tell me I had heart disease or liver disease, kidney disease, cancer and diabetes but obviously that’s not the case,” Lawrence explained in the second TikTok video, which garnered over 110k views.@fullheartedpush Can’t say I didn’t warn you! ? #disgusting ♬ original sound - Lawrence Okoye
“Those crazy holes that were in my leg no longer exist,” he added in a third video. "It's easily treatable, just a weeks' worth of antibiotics and some rest and I should be back to normal." Most people tend to make a full recovery in 7 to 10 days.@fullheartedpush #stitch with @Lawrence Okoye ♬ original sound - Lawrence Okoye
