No, cellulitis is not the same as "flesh-eating" disease, which refers to necrotizing fasciitis. Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that causes redness, swelling, and pain in the affected area, usually affecting the skin and underlying tissues. While it can be serious and requires treatment, it does not typically destroy tissue in the way that necrotizing fasciitis does. Prompt medical attention is important for both conditions.
