A member asked:
Does cellulitis itch? also, does the redness it causes come and go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cellulitis: The term literally means inflammation of the skin. Inflammation produces pain (itching is a subliminal form of pain), redness, warmth and hardness of the area. Do not know, since cannot see, what your area of involvement is, but if it does not clear up see a doctor.
