A member asked:

How would i know if i have facial cellulitis my cheeks are kinda red look slightly swollen and my face is burning it's 35 degrees outside?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Outside: 35, what about inside? Redness could be from other factors. Rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis. Cellulitis in face rare, painful and fever. Go get checked.

See a doctor: To diagnose the cause of the redness and treat it. Cellulitis is red warm to touch and indurated.
