MRSA Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
Symptom #2: Cellulitis
Cellulitis is an infection of the skin and deeper layers of the skin, the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. It usually begins as small red bumps on the skin which feel tender and swollen. The affected area is warm and looks red. As the infection of the skin spreads, other symptoms such as fever, chills, and swollen lymph nodes may appear around the area of the infected skin.
If you have a compromised immune system, it is important for you to seek medical attention as soon as possible as this infection can spread much more rapidly compared to others. If in doubt, always consult a healthcare professional.
