http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-a...topic-overview How do you get cellulitis? There are many ways to get cellulitis. You can get it if you have: Certain medical conditions. These include diabetes, peripheral arterial disease(*PAD), or a weak immune system. Fluid buildup (edema) in the legs or arms.

PAD = Lowered blood flow in the legs, less white blood cells, more susceptible to infected skin cuts, scrapes ... Usually, a topical antiseptic iodine, Mercurochrome followed by neo tri or poly sporin ointments work. Trick is irrigating (cleaning the laceration (Hydrogen Peroxide is good), then applying an antiseptic and ointment for a few days so you don't get a skin infection needing antibiotics -- works for me anyway ...
