Cellulitis

Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that occurs when bacteria enter the skin through a break or crack, leading to redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness in the affected area. Cellulitis most commonly affects the legs, but it can occur in other parts of the body. If left untreated, cellulitis can lead to more severe complications. Serious infections can spread deep into the body and can be life-threatening.
