Hi doctors, was just wondering what is cellulitis of the hand?
I woke up this morning and my left hand is swollen. I received a very small cat scratch from a stray cat that we feed last night. However, the scratch itself doesnt look infected. Should I seek medical attention. I have had cellulitis in the past?
