How To Cure Cellulitis Completely?
Good evening....I have cellutitis for the past 9 months. I have had 7 courses of antibiotics including oral, iv, & picc line. It is very much better but just will not "go away". What do you recommend? I sit at a desk 8 hrs a day. Can you recommend (1) a cream/ointment to put on the leg (2) what moisturer I should use when washing? (3) should I be getting up & moving hourly ( 3) any other help . thanks. Brid

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Cellulitis is deep bacterial infection.
Treatment is with antibiotics but the choice of antibiotics should be based on culture and sensitivity tests.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
