HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the most common cause of this is blood circulation disturbances, and may not be cellulitis in absence of fever, fatigue, severe pain, headache, it may not be cellulitis, try to keep the leg in elevated position, in differentia diagnosis cardio vascular disease need to be ruled out and renal disease also, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
