Here are 4 more clinical images related to cellulitis, covering different types and anatomical locations:
Image 3 - Giant Cellulitis-like Sweet Syndrome (thigh)
Fig. 36-4 Histiocytoid Giant Cellulitis-like Sweet Syndrome - Widespread erythematous plaque on the lateral thigh in a 72-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndrome. This is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis that closely mimics true bacterial cellulitis. Source: Fitzpatrick's Dermatology, Vol. 1-2
Image 4 - Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp (Andrews')
Fig. 13.21 Dissecting Folliculitis (Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp) - Shows patchy alopecia with perifollicular inflammation on the scalp. This chronic suppurative condition forms intercommunicating sinus tracts and predominantly affects adult Black men at the vertex and occiput.

Image 5 - Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp (Fitzpatrick's)
Figure 88-7 Dissecting Cellulitis - More advanced disease showing confluent suppurative, crusted nodules over the scalp vertex. Follicular occlusion leads to abscesses and deep dermal sinus tracts, ultimately causing scarring alopecia. Source: Fitzpatrick's Dermatology, Vol. 1-2
Image 6 - Facial Cellulitis (H. influenzae / Buccal Cellulitis)
Figure 154-11 (A) - Facial/Buccal Cellulitis - Unilateral facial swelling with erythema and warmth around the nose/buccal region, characteristic of Haemophilus influenzae type b cellulitis seen in young children (3-24 months). The affected area classically has a violaceous hue and is associated with bacteremia. Source: Fitzpatrick's Dermatology, Vol. 1-2
