Cellulitis

Cellulitis refers to a non-necrotizing infection of the skin.

Usually, there is some sort of breach in the skin and/or it can be due to the invasive qualities of certain bacteria.

Some risk factors that increase the likelihood of infection include:
1. Diabetes
2. Immunocompromised
3. Obesity
4. Lymphedema
5. Tinea pedis
6. Saphenous vein removal
7. Mastectomy
