Do you mean cellulitis?
What is cellulitis?
Cellulitis is a spreading infection of the skin that usually begins as a small area of tenderness, swelling, and redness on the skin. As this red area begins to spread, the person may develop a fever, sometimes with chills and sweats, and swollen lymph nodes ("swollen glands") near the area of infected skin.
Unlike impetigo, which is a very superficial skin infection, cellulitis refers to an infection involving the skin's deeper layers; the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The main bacteria involved in cellulitis is Staphylococcus ("staph"), the same bacteria that causes many cases of impetigo. Occasionally, other bacteria may cause cellulitis as well.
Where does cellulitis occur?
Some cases of cellulitis appear on areas of trauma, where the skin has broken open, such as the skin near ulcers or surgical wounds. Many times, however, cellulitis occurs where there has been no break in the skin at all. In such cases, it is anyone's guess where the bacteria came from. Patients who have diabetes or impairment of the immune system (for example, from HIV/AIDS or from drugs that depress the immune system) are particularly prone to developing cellulitis.
What does cellulitis look like?
The signs of cellulitis are those of any inflammation; redness, warmth, swelling, and pain. Any skin wound or ulcer that exhibits these signs may be developing cellulitis.
Other forms of noninfected inflammation may mimic cellulitis. People with poor leg circulation, for instance, often develop scaly redness on the shins and ankles; this is called "stasis dermatitis" and is often mistaken for the bacterial infection of cellulitis.

You've had the explanation of what it is. It's cured with antibiotics and I can tell you from personal experience that the sooner you get treatment for it the better. It is *EXCRUCIATINGLY* painful if it gets a good hold. You put your leg up to ease the juices from the whole of your body as it feels like they all run into it and almost going to explode and you put it down to get up and same applies.
I think I got mine the first time from an infected mosquito bite but you can get it all kinds of ways. Another common way is if you have athlete's foot and it can get in from the broken skin between your toes. There is a good link with these.
Whatever, see your doctor sooner rather than later and good luck. I've had it 3 or 4 times and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!!

You really need to read "Endometriosis Bible & Violet Protocol" by Zoe Brown (also available in electronic format here: http://www.endometriosisbible.info ). It's about how to eradicate endometriosis disease forever. It worked for me, you will see results in only a matter of weeks. Good Luck!
