hi...thanks for using Healthcaremagic
Clindamycin is an antibiotic..It gives good result in skin,joint and bone infection.The main side effect of Clindamycin is stomach upset,usually diarrhoea .Can be very severe also.Like any other drug this can also cause hypersensitivity (rashes) but usually generalised.
In your case ,I think it's the infection which is the culprit..The cellulitis is spreading
Just check for increased warmth of the red area.

thank you...
