Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection that causes redness, swelling, and pain, most often affecting the legs. It can become serious if not treated promptly. At La Pradera International Health Center in Havana, Cuba, our dermatology and rehabilitation teams provide integrative cellulitis care combining targeted antimicrobial therapy with advanced wound healing and circulatory support for international patients.
Cellulitis is usually caused by Streptococcus or Staphylococcus bacteria entering through a break in the skin. Understanding the cause and risk factors helps guide effective treatment.
Bacterial entry through cuts, ulcers, insect bites, or cracks
Most common on the lower legs and feet
Often associated with diabetes, venous insufficiency, or lymphedema
Can spread rapidly if untreated
Recurrent cellulitis is common without addressing underlying causes
Cellulitis symptoms develop quickly and require prompt medical attention:
Red, swollen, warm area of skin that spreads
Tenderness and pain in the affected area
Skin that appears tight and shiny
Fever, chills, and fatigue
Blisters or skin dimpling
Swollen lymph nodes near the affected area
Diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by tests to identify severity and underlying causes.
Physical examination of the affected skin
Blood tests to check for systemic infection
Wound culture when an open sore is present
Assessment for diabetes and circulatory disorders
Imaging (ultrasound) when deep infection is suspected
