Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are concerned about about cellulitis. Cellulitis is infection in the tissues. The infection is usually caused by some time of break in the skin like a cut or even a pimple. This can happen anywhere on the body and not particular to one site or another. Once you have been diagnosed with cellulitis you would require treatment with an antibiotic to stop the infection. Warm compresses also help the healing process.
