SELULITIS

Cellulitis is an acute spreading bacterial skin infection characterized by redness, warmth, swelling and pain below the skin surface. It occurs when bacteria enter through breaks in the normal skin barriers and release toxins in the subcutaneous tissues. Physical examination may reveal unclear boundaries, erythema, edema, lymph dilation, bullae formation, and suppurative inflammation. Differential diagnoses include erysipelas and dermatitis statis. Treatment involves antibiotics, incision and drainage if abscesses are present. Prognosis depends on immune status but is generally good with treatment.
