These are symptoms of serious complications, which can be life threatening. Cellulitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection. The bacteria can infect the deeper layers of your skin if it's broken, for example, because of an insect bite or cut, or if it's cracked and dry. Sometimes the break in the skin is too small to notice.
Diagnosis. Your doctor will likely be able to diagnose cellulitis by looking at your skin. In some cases, he or she may suggest blood tests or other tests to help rule out other conditions. Treatment. Cellulitis treatment usually includes a prescription oral antibiotic.
Treating underlying conditions that make you more vulnerable to cellulitis, such as edema, eczema and diabetes, is also helpful in clearing up the present infection and preventing a recurrence. More serious infections may require hospitalization for administration of antibiotics via IV and close monitoring for complications and improvement.
