Question

Who's at risk for cellulitis?

Answer 1

You’re at risk for cellulitis if you have:

• Trauma to the skin
• Diabetes
• Circulatory problems, such as not enough blood flow to your arms and legs, poor drainage of your veins or lymphatic system, or varicose veins -- twisted, enlarged veins near the surface of the skin
• Liver disease such as chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis
• Skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, or infectious diseases that cause sores, such as chickenpox
