Can Arthritis Cause Cellulitis?
Arthritis is pain in the joints due to joint structures malfunctioning. The tendons may be stretched and loose or the surfaces of the joint have eroded. This erosion is usually related to normal wear and tear with age or lack of nutrients or exercise. There is also rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease causing chronic inflammation of the joints, and septic arthritis, caused by bacterial infection. In some cases arthritis can lead to cellulitis, which is a bacterial infection of the body’s outer tissue and skin.
