What is cellulitic?

Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that affects the deeper layers of the skin and underlying tissue. It is most commonly caused by bacteria such as streptococcus and staphylococcus. Symptoms of cellulitis include redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness of the affected area. Other symptoms may include fever, chills, and fatigue. Cellulitis can occur anywhere on the body, but it most commonly affects the legs and feet. It is often treated with antibiotics and may require hospitalization in severe cases. Prevention measures include maintaining good hygiene, avoiding skin injuries, and treating skin conditions promptly.
