[Wells syndrome mimicking facial cellulitis: Three cases].

DISCUSSION: These cases highlight the need to consider Wells syndrome in the differential diagnosis when evaluating a patient with facial cellulitis that does not respond to an initial antimicrobial regimen. In addition, our cases suggest that combined therapy with levocetirizine and hydroxyzine may be successfully used as first-line therapy or to prevent relapse after discontinuation of corticosteroid treatment.
