Possible: Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin. Signs and symptoms of cellulitis are increased warmth, redness and tenderness over the infected area. Patients may also have a fever. Diabetic patients are more subject to inspections including cellulitis.patients with cellulitis should be seen by physician as soon as possible. Mild cases can be treated with oral antibiotics but more severe cases may need hospitalization and intravenous medication.
