What Is Soft Tissue Infection?
Infected cuts, boils, abscesses and cellulitis are all soft tissue infections of the skin and underlying tissue, which may spread without treatment.
Typical Symptoms

- Red, warm and swollen area of skin
- A red streak spreading from the wound
- Pus or a boil

Common Triggers
A cut, bite, graze or blister lets bacteria in, and sweating, shaving, sea water, minor skin damage and diabetes make this more likely.
