Severe Swelling and Firmness of Affected Region
Cellulitis causes the affected skin to become sensitive and warm, resulting in tight and glossy surfaces. Additionally, the infected areas start to expand as the cellulitis progresses. Consequently, there may be raised, hardened, and red regions that stand out from the surrounding skin. Even a gentle touch can cause intense pain, and in severe instances, these areas may become numb.
Hair Loss Caused by Infection
When an infection occurs in the skin and underlying tissues, it can lead to hair loss in the affected areas. This is primarily due to the inflammation that damages the hair follicles. However, it is important to note that this hair loss is typically temporary, and once the infection is treated and cured, hair will usually start regrowing.
