Symptoms of CELLULITIS
Cellulitis tends to come on rapidly. There is a red, tender swollen area of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It rapidly enlarges. There may be extensions from these areas in the forms of red lines. There may be tender, swollen lumps in the groin, armpit or neck, representing inflamed lymph nodes. Fever and chills are present. Occasionally, the infection can become overwhelming.
