Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and tissues beneath the skin, characterized by redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the affected area. It most commonly affects the skin of the lower legs, but it can occur on any part of the body. Cellulitis can spread rapidly if left untreated, leading to more severe health issues, including bloodstream infections and lymphangitis. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is crucial to combat the infection and prevent its spread.
