5. What does Facial Cellulitis Look Like?
Facial cellulitis that develops around the eyes often results in the eye swelling shut until the infection resolves. Swelling and redness under the eyes may spread down into the cheek.
When facial cellulitis develops around the lips, the swelling may spread to the upper or lower lip and both sides, causing cracked skin and sores. If facial cellulitis develops on the nose, it may cause the nostril area to close up and make it difficult to breathe, requiring immediate medical care.
