Cellulitis (sel-u-LIE-tis) is a common, potentially serious bacterial skin infection. The affected skin appears swollen and red and is typically painful and warm to the touch.

Cellulitis usually affects the skin on the lower legs, but it can occur in the face, arms and other areas. It occurs when a crack or break in your skin allows bacteria to enter.

Left untreated, the infection can spread to your lymph nodes and bloodstream and rapidly become life-threatening. It isn't usually spread from person to person.

Possible signs and symptoms of cellulitis, which usually occur on one side of the body, include:

• Red area of skin that tends to expand
• Swelling
• Tenderness

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is found in your blood. Bad or LDL cholesterol builds up in the walls of your arteries and make them hard and narrow.
