Types

There are different types of cellulitis, depending on where the infection occurs.

Some types include:

• periorbital cellulitis, which develops around the eyes
• facial cellulitis, which develops around the eyes, nose, and cheeks
• breast cellulitis
• perianal cellulitis, which develops around the anal orifice

Cellulitis can occur anywhere on the body, including the hands and feet. Adults tend to develop cellulitis in the lower leg, while children tend to develop it on the face or neck.
