Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection. Cellulitis may first
appear as a red, swollen area that feels hot and tender to the touch.
The redness and swelling often spread rapidly. Cellulitis is usually
painful.
In most cases, the skin on the lower legs is affected, although the infection can occur anywhere on your body or face. Cellulitis usually affects the surface of your skin, but it may also affect the underlying tissues of your skin. Cellulitis can also spread to your lymph nodes and bloodstream.

If cellulitis isn’t treated, the infection might spread and become
