Erysipelas and cellulitis are bacterial infection occurring at deeper layer of the skin than impetigo. The most common site of  erysipelas is the face of one side and the skin swelling and redness are the major symptoms. Cellulitis is common in the area below the knee and as cellulitis worsens, the area expands over and above the knee area.
