Typically not: Cellulitis should not cause difficulty in balance or falling although if there is pain or discomfort in the affected leg, then gait and standing may be affected to avoid the discomfort which in turn may lead to increase risk if fall in a very obese person. If pain in the hip occurred after a fall, it should be evaluated to rule out fracture or dislocation.

Cellulitis: This by itself should not cause falling. If, however, you are having hip pain you need to explore the possibility that the infection has extended upwards and involved areas other than the skin. You should be seen and evaluated by an infectious diseases expert. Good luck.
