How To Treat Cellulitis?
I have been taking amoxicillin for cellulitis on the left side of my face for a week, and I still have a few more days to go. I still look like I was in a fight and have scabs and swelling beginning at th corner of my eye, down my cheek and it seems to be spreading down to my top lip. When will this subside? What can I put on it? Thehysician I saw said nothing about this except take this medicine. Help....should I go see a dermatologist?

Hello
Of course you need to see a dermatologist. You may need to use other antibiotics possibly by injections.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
