Not major issue: The cellulitis is likely well circumscribed and not very infectious unless an open sore is present. In this day and age, however, must be cogniscent of flesh-eating strep, and drug resistant mersa, (staph), so contact the patients doctor, make sure you observe careful sterility and assure that patient is being effectively treated with antibiotics.
