Understanding Cellulitis: Causes and Common Indicators
Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection marked by redness, swelling, and warmth. It often affects the lower legs but can occur on any exposed skin area. Bacteria enter through breaks or cracks, especially after cuts, wounds, or bites. Recognizing symptoms early—such as skin redness, tenderness, fever, and swelling—is vital for effective treatment. Risk factors include recent surgery, skin conditions, or injuries. Prompt medical care can prevent serious complications, making awareness and early detection key to managing cellulitis effectively.
