Blisters
For some individuals with cellulitis, the infected area may resemble the pitted skin of an orange, and blisters may form. Blisters are clusters of fluid between the upper layers of a person's skin and are commonly caused by burning, friction, chemical burns and infections, such as cellulitis.
People should resist the temptation to burst these blisters, as doing so could help spread the infection. If they become too big and cause pain, a doctor can drain them.
