Etiology
Cellulitis is inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous, which is generally regarded as the cause is an infection of Streptococcus betahemolyticus or Streptococcus pyrogenes which tend to spread sideways and inward. Causing organisms can enter the skin through minor abrasions or cracking skin on toes.
Clinical Overview
Fever, chills, and malaise. Cellulitis often occurs in the leg, although it could have on other parts of the body. The lesions began as erythematous macular quickly becoming increasingly dusky red, protruding above the surface of the skin, feels hot and swollen, large size and can reach plaque. Further spread to the side and down but no clear boundaries (diffuse) and the edges are not rising so formed fistel fistel red-and black out seropurulen secretions, pus, and necrotic tissue.
Differential Diagnosis
Erysipelas, Deep mycosis, Chronic pyoderma, Contact dermatitis, Venous thrombosis.
