Dangerous Symptoms of Cellulitis

3. Quick growing skin sore or rash

If you are not prone to skin allergies, but you notice a skin sore or rash that has been quickly growing, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. The longer cellulitis goes without treatment, the harder it will be to cure. A skin sore or rash that has a tight, glossy, and swollen appearance can be a sign that the cellulitis infection is spreading rapidly. It is important to follow the treatment protocol you received from your medical professional to the letter. Keeping the sore or rash clean and covered is important to keep it from spreading further.
