Brief Answer:
You should take a good antibiotic.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have seen the photo and read your query..

It seems Cellulitis, infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue.
Most common bacteria are Gram positive Staphylococcus /Streptococci. I prescribe Antibiotic like Linezolid 600mg twice daily along with anti inflammatory tablet to my patients with similar complaints.
Can I know the antibiotic that you are using?
Nothing to worry. It will come down. But, it will take some time.

Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
