What can I expect if I have cellulitis?

With early diagnosis and treatment, the outlook for people with cellulitis is good. Most people feel better after seven to 10 days.

It’s very important to take cellulitis seriously and get treatment right away. Cellulitis can quickly progress and lead to more severe conditions. The bacteria could spread to your bloodstream (bacteremia) or heart (endocarditis), which may be fatal.
