You : You need to find out the nature of your problem, and if truly cellulitis, get definitive treatment. There are several other possibilities, such as contact dermatitis, that would also require medical treatment. Seek care immediately at an urgent care clinic or emergency department.

If : If in fact it is a true facial cellulitis, you will need to be evaluated. This is a true infection of the skin/soft tissues of the face and you will likely need a course of antibiotics. You may want to get evaluated independent of where you work.
