What Is Cellulitis?
Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that affects the deeper layers of the skin and surrounding tissues. It commonly causes redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the affected area.
The infection can develop from cuts, cracks in the skin, ulcers, or other openings that allow bacteria to enter. Without treatment, cellulitis can spread rapidly and lead to more serious complications.
Patients with diabetes, poor circulation, or weakened immune systems are at higher risk and should seek prompt evaluation.
