Progression of cellulitis presenting with the following signs and symptoms requires urgent surgical evaluation: rapid progression, circumferential cellulitis, crepitus, worsening bullae, pain inconsistent with examination findings, or other signs indicative of necrotizing fasciitis. Necrotic skin requires debridement to allow healthy granulation tissue growth and promote healing. Necrotizing fasciitis is a surgical emergency necessitating early debridement for favorable outcomes.
