Cellulitis
Cellulitis is an acute inflammation of the connective tissue of skin, caused by infection with staphylococcus, streptococcus or other bacteria. The skin normally has many types of bacteria living on it, but intact skin is an effective barrier that keeps these bacteria from entering and growing within the body. When there is a break in the skin, however, bacteria can enter the body and grow there, causing infection and inflammation. The skin tissues in the infected area become red, hot, irritated and painful.
Cellulitis is the most common on lower legs and arms or hands, although other areas of the body may sometimes be involved. If it involves the face (erysipelas), medical attention is urgent. People with fungal infections of feet, who have skin cracks in the webspaces between the toes, may have cellulitis that keeps coming back, because cracks in skin offer an opening for bacteria.
Risk factors for cellulitis include
- Insect bites and stings, animal bite or human bite
- Injury or trauma with a break in the skin (skin wounds)
- History of peripheral vascular disease
- Diabetes -related or ischemic ulcers
- Cracks or peeling skin between the toes
- Use of immunosuppressive or corticosteroid medications
Symptoms
- Localized skin redness or inflammation that increase in size as infection spreads
- Tight, glossy, “stretched” appearance of skin
- Pain or tenderness of the area
- Skin lesion or rash (macule) :
- Sudden onset usually with sharp borders
- Rapid growth within the first 24 hours
- Warmth over the area of redness
- Fever
Other signs of infection
- Chills, shaking
- Warm skin, sweating
- Fatigue
- Muscle aches, pains (myalgias)
- General ill feeling (malaise)
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease
- Nausea and vomiting
- Joint stiffness caused by swelling of the tissue over the joint
- Hair loss at the site of infection
