Understanding soft tissue infection
A soft tissue infection is an infection of the skin and the tissue just under it, such as an infected cut, boil, abscess or cellulitis. It can spread if not treated.
Signs of soft tissue infection to look for

- Fever or chills
- Pus or a boil
- Red, warm and swollen area of skin
Common triggers
A cut, bite, graze or blister lets bacteria in, and sweating, shaving, sea water, minor skin damage and diabetes make this more likely.
