What causes cellulitis. 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.
Cellulitis treatment usually includes a prescription oral antibiotic. Within three days of starting an antibiotic, let your health care provider know whether the infection is responding to treatment. You'll need to take the antibiotic for the full course, usually 5 to 10 days, even if you start to feel better.

Cellulitis is a common infection that can occur when bacteria enters your body through a cut or scratch on your skin. The infected skin can become red, painful, tender, or swollen. Mild cellulitis goes away on its own or can be treated with antibiotics.
Whereas gout is often abrupt in onset, cellulitis tends to progress from an initial pustule, abscess, ulcer, or patch and gradually expands. Cellulitis may appear similar to gout if the initial location is a joint. However, erythema and swelling may enlarge beyond the joint area and affect multiple digits.
Cellulitis should go away within 7 to 10 days after you start taking antibiotics. You might need longer treatment if your infection is more severe. Even if your symptoms improve within a few days, it is critical to take all the antibiotics your doctor prescribes.
