Does cellulitis travel in the blood? i have red legs at the mid calf area does radiation

It is in the skin.: Cellulitis is inflammation in the tissue of the skin. It can progress to invade deeper tissue and bone. If it invades bone it can invade into the bloodstream. Redness of the calf can be a dermatitis caused by venous leakage called venous stasis. See a vascular surgeon to evaluate for this problem.

What's the cause ?: Cellulitis is basically a visible inflammation (itis) of the skin and soft tissues (red, hot, swollen and tender) . It can be caused by many things including sunburn (radiation), trauma (sprained ankle) or poor vein circulation (stasis dermatitis). It need not be caused by bacteria. If you have repeated episodes of this, get to a wound care or vascular specialist, the diagnoses you have is wrong.

Cellulitis: Although cellulitis can be due to a number of causes, as it technically means inflammation of cells, most people concern themselves with cellulitis as an infectious disease. When infection spreads from cellulitis to the lymph nodes it becomes "ascending" or "blood poisoning". Red streaks should be evaluated professionally.

Bacteria can travel.: If bacteria spreads from the soft tissues into the circulatory system it is called bacteremia.
