Cellulitis is caused by a bacterial infection in the dermis and subcutaneous layers of the skin. These are the two innermost skin layers. Cellulitis may develop around surgical incisions or cuts in the skin, but it sometimes shows up for no obvious reason.
Staphlycoccus bacteria is the main cause of cellulitis, with Streptococcus bacteria as a secondary cause. It is less common for cellulitis to be caused by other bacteria, but it is possible.

Symptoms of contact dermatitis include skin redness, intense itching (often quite painful), and, in more extreme cases, skin thickening and scaling.
