Wake Up And Distinguish The Various Bacterial Skin Infections

Cellulitis is one of the bacterial skin infections which normally occurs in places where the skin appears to be broken. Such areas may include surgical wounds, cuts from cutlery, pricks from sharp objects, ulcerations and so on. Rarely does this type of skin infection appear on a normal skin surface. The infection causes the patient to experience pain around the area where the infection is and may cause one to suffer from fever. The immune system of the patient may contain a high count of white blood cells so that it may try to fight the infection. Cellulitis is considered dangerous because it is able to attack skin on any part of the body including the face, legs, hands, feet, torso, buttocks and even the neck.
