Treatment

Cellulitis

  • It is a bacterial infection of the skin and tissues immediately below.
  • It is most often caused by streptococci or staphylococci.
  • The affected skin is warm, painful and red.
  • Most resolves quickly with antibiotic therapy. Occasionally, people develop skin abscesses (may require drainage), severe skin infections and spread of bacteria through the blood (bacteremia).
