Patients who notice possible signs of facial cellulitis should immediately see a doctor. These can include pain and tenderness, as well as a sudden skin rash that rapidly spreads. The facial area may also develop redness and swelling, and will often appear glossy. Occasionally, this condition can result in small blisters that are filled with fluid.
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.
