Guide To The Symptoms And Types Of Cellulitis

Facial Cellulitis

Facial cellulitis is an infection of the deep layers of facial skin. Bacteria that cause facial cellulitis enter these deep skin tissues through a scratch, cut, infected hair follicle, or infected pimple. The most common area affected by facial cellulitis is the cheeks, but it can also develop behind the ears, around the eyes, behind the eyes, and on the neck. An individual affected by facial cellulitis will have areas of facial skin that are warm to the touch, sore or painful, swollen, red, and have a visible border. The bacteria known to cause facial cellulitis are referred to as staphylococcus and streptococcus bacteria. When facial cellulitis goes untreated, symptoms can become worse.

Facial cellulitis is most commonly treated using oral antibiotics and medications to reduce fever and relieve pain.
