Brief Answer:
Foot Cellulitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I under stood your foot cellulitis problem. But I need more information.

Please be specific what exactly do you want before I can reply you to help you.
What is your problem currently and what help do you want from HCM specialist doctor.?
Do you have any foot cellulitis right now?do your fear any connection of this foot cellulitis with the 1971, when you got treated last in Vietnam?
Please give more details to help you out.
From whatever info you gave in query and with my expertise-

In my opinion Foot cellulitis is the swelling of the foot caused due to infective inflammatory edema in the foot tissue. I am not sure if you meant tropical ulcer when you described "Jungle Rot". If yes, cellulitis is a different entity from tropical ulcer.

Awaiting for more detailed current issues with you and the help for which you have asked this query.
Wishing you healthy life in time to come.
Have a Good Day.
