What is Cellulitis?
Cellulitis is a common but potentially serious bacterial infection of the skin and the tissues beneath it. It occurs when bacteria enter the body through a break in the skin, such as a cut, wound, insect bite, or an area affected by skin conditions like eczema. Although cellulitis can affect any part of the body, it most commonly occurs in the lower legs.
Typical symptoms of cellulitis include:
- Swelling and pain in the affected area
- Skin that feels warm and tender to touch
- Redness or darkened skin that spreads over time
- Fever, chills, or general fatigue
If left untreated, cellulitis can spread rapidly and lead to serious complications, including bloodstream infections. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to control the infection and prevent further spread.
