A member asked:

Is it possible to have cellulitis on the nose from a deep pimple wound with only one symptom of some swelling, but no tenderness and redness?

Dr. Steven T Kmucha MD JD FACS answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Extremely unlikely: There are many causes of swelling without fever, pain, redness etc., symptoms and findings which are required for a diagnosis of cellulitis. Please get a good rhinologic exam from an otolaryngologist.
