I just found this thread and I too had Cellulitis.  One day when I got out of the car something bit me under my left eye.  I didn't think much of it until some time later it became swollen and became black and blue.  It took a few days before it finally began to clear up and once it was all gone I didn't give it a second thought.

A few weeks later I felt something sting my right hand and very shortly thereafter it began to swell and crept up my arm turning different colors.  My daughter drove me to an urgent care and the doctor immediately diagnosed it as Cellulitis and prescribed antibiotics.  She described as something put an infection in my body.

The medication cleared it up and after reading all the posts I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  Don't want anything like that again.
