Cellulitis explained
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and the tissue beneath it. It produces a red, warm, swollen, painful area that can spread rapidly.
What can cause cellulitis
A cut, insect bite, blister, scrape or athlete’s foot gives bacteria a way in. Sea water, rocks and walking barefoot add to the risk on holiday.
