Cellulitis is a skin infection that may begin with redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness. In some cases, the infection can spread quickly and cause serious complications, making early medical evaluation important.

People with diabetes, poor circulation, chronic wounds, or weakened immune systems may be at increased risk. Warning signs such as rapidly spreading redness, fever, chills, or worsening pain should not be ignored.

Maintaining skin hygiene, protecting cuts and wounds, and seeking medical advice when infection is suspected can help reduce the risk of complications. Severe symptoms require urgent medical attention.
