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.
Symptoms of cellulitis
- Pain or tenderness
- Fever or chills
- Skin that looks tight or glossy

Photos and a video visit let the physician judge the area and, if cellulitis is likely, prescribe antibiotics. Since it can spread fast, the physician may advise an in-person check the same day. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest oral antibiotics, and pain relief and elevation of the area.
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
- Clean cuts and grazes promptly and cover them
- Do not scratch bites
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
