cellulitis

Some patients present with congestive heart failure, stroke or a severe localized infection such as pneumonia, 'cellulitis' or septic arthritis.

Common skin infections include 'cellulitis' , erysipelas, impetigo, folliculitis, and furuncles and carbuncles.

For instance, periorbital edema with proptosis could be the result of 'cellulitis' or acute bacterial sinusitis.

Any infection in this area, as from a pimple or boil in the nostril or on the upper lip or nose, may cause a local tissue inflammation known as 'cellulitis' .

Infections such as mastitis and 'cellulitis' tend to be erythematous, tender, and warm to the touch; they may be more circumscribed if an abscess has formed.
