10. How to Prevent Facial Cellulitis
It's helpful to use moisturizers on dry facial skin and sunscreen when outside. Cuts or scrapes on the face should be washed with soap and water, and a doctor should be consulted if the area quickly reddens or swells. Any facial cuts deeper than one-half inch require examination by a physician or dermatologist.
If a cut or abrasion comes in contact with saltwater or frostbite occurs on an area of the face, it's important to see a doctor for treatment to prevent infection.
