periocular cellulitis

Periocular cellulitis is an infection that affects the tissues around the eye, leading to redness, swelling, and sometimes pain in that area. It can occur due to bacteria entering through cuts, insect bites, or even from sinus infections. Symptoms may include swelling of the eyelid, difficulty seeing, or fever. It's important to seek medical attention as untreated cellulitis can lead to serious complications. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and, in some cases, further medical interventions if the infection is severe. Prompt care helps prevent complications and promotes healing.
