> what is cellulitis? The "-itis" suffix always means inflamation of. e.g. Rhinitis - inflamation of the nasal passage ways. Cellulitis simply means inflamtion of the cells - can happen any time cells are injured - bruising, infection are common causes. Pink eye is usually a staph aureus infection and if it spreads into the surrounding tissues then oral antibiotics are usually called for. If it doesn't then antibiotic eye drops are usually sufficient - but as stated by others here and myself - CS eye drops are just as effective if not even more so. Ian
