What is Cellulitis
Cellulitis is an infection of the skin and the underlying tissue that can affect any area of the body. Cellulitis is a common, potentially serious bacterial skin infection. It often begins in the areas where skin is broken like cracks, cuts in the skin where bacteria can invade and spread causing all signs of inflammation i.e. redness, pain, swelling and warmth.
Skin on lower legs is most commonly affected, though cellulitis can occur anywhere on your body or face. Cellulitis may affect only your skin's surface or, cellulitis may also affect tissues underlying your skin and can spread to your lymph nodes and bloodstream.
Causes of Cellulitis
Cellulitis is caused by a type of bacteria entering the skin, usually by way of a cut, abrasion, or break in the skin. This break does not need to be visible. Group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are the most common of these bacteria, which are part of the normal flora of the skin but cause no actual infection while on the skin's outer surface.
Cellulitis occurring after animal bites may be caused by other bacteria, especially Pasteurella multocida from dogs and cats.
Risk Factors of Cellulitis
The various risk factors associated with cellulitis are :
Cracks or peeling skin between the toes.
History of peripheral vascular disease.
Injury or trauma with a break in the skin (skin wounds).
Insect bites and stings, animal bites, or human bites.
Ulcers from diabetes or a blockage in the blood supply (ischemia).
Use of corticosteroid medications or medications that suppress the immune system.
Patients of HIV / AIDS.
Wound from a recent surgery.
Signs and Symptoms of Cellulitis
Cellulitis usually begins as a small area of tenderness, swelling, and redness. As this red area begins to enlarge, the person may develop a fever, sometimes with chills and sweats, and swollen lymph nodes ('swollen glands') near the area of infected skin.
Nausea, vomiting, joint stiffness caused by the swelling of the tissue over the joint and hair loss at the site of infection may be associated with the disease.
Cellulitis is not contagious.

Tissue death.
