Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Sorry to hear of your trouble. Once you have used antibiotics and it's has been there for so much time, I would advise you must see your doctor know to see it in more details as cellulitis for 3 months is too much. We should see to exclude other things and you may need intravenous antibiotics or at least some more potent antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Rahman
