Cellulitis explained
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and the tissue underneath, causing a red, warm, swollen and painful area that can spread rapidly.
Causes and risk factors

Typical symptoms
- Redness that spreads over hours
- Skin that looks tight or glossy
- Pain or tenderness
- Red, hot, swollen skin
