Connecting Cellulitis Infection and Cellulite Surgery
Most people have probably heard of cellulite. Some may have also heard of a condition called cellulitis infection. What is cellulitis infection and how is it related to cellulite?
Cellulitis
Celluitis and cellulite are two different conditions. In the strictest sense, the two conditions are not even remotely related. Cellulitis infection is a non contagious condition that is simply an infection of the skin or dermis and the subcutaneous tissues underneath. In some people, cellulitis infection may just be a surface condition but more severe forms of the infection may penetrate deeper. An untreated person with cellulitis infection may suffer from deeper flesh infections, blood poisoning and nerve damage. In these severe cases, cellulitis infection could become life threatening.
Symptoms
Although this condition usually develops on leg areas, it is also known to occur on any part of the body. A person with cellulitis infection could have red, swollen skin areas that are also warm, tender and painful. The red areas could spread further into other neighboring skin areas. As the bacteria release their toxins, a person could also suffer from fever and chills as the body reacts to the spread of toxins. (more…)
