Brief Answer: detail follows Detailed Answer: Hello dear, Welcome to XXXXXXX I am Dr. Anshul Varshney. I have read your query and understood your concern for your father. I am really feeling sorry for the condition of your father. I will try my best to solve your query. Firstly i will like to know how did you come to know about the diagnosis of skin disease 'CELLULITIS'? Did your treating doctor confirm the diagnosis ? Because before i can comment something on treatment , i should be sure of the diagnosis . Cellulitis is infection of skin involving deeper tissues as well. It is characterised by red colored painful swelling, tender to touch , with raised overlying temperature. I will advice you to attach a pic of the skin lesion and answer my queries so that i can help you further. Thanx. Good luck.

Brief Answer: detail follows Detailed Answer: Hello dear, Welcome again. I saw all the pics. It seems your father is suffering from carbuncles. It is like an abscess with opening on the surface draining pus. In diabetics and immunocompromised persons, such infections are very common. For the condition, there are number of drugs like augmentin, cefoperazone . But renal modification of doses is required in all, that will depend on the kidney function test. The dose is decided on the basis of the levels of urea, creatinine. I will advice you to admit your father in a hospital so that correct dosages can be given along with monitoring of the kidney function tests. Here on XXXXXXX we as doctors cannot monitor the kidney function tests, we can only advice you in right direction. Your father needs treatment under supervision, as this infection can lead to acute complication on chronic kidney disease due to sepsis. If you have any further queries, you may ask me. Else you may close the discussion and rate it.
