I was diagnosed with cellulitis. should i avoid kissing my boyfriend and sharing food?

No: Cellulitis is an infection that gets underneath the skin. It is often caused by bacteria that you normally carry. Chances are your boyfriend has already been exposed to this bacteria. Take regular precautions like careful hand washing.
