Brief Answer:
Can be cellulitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling on the leg with watery discharge is likely to be due to an infection in the soft tissues of the leg. This needs a direct examination and proper oral antibiotics for treatment. You can keep the leg elevated on two pillows till then.
Do get your leg examined by your doctor and get proper treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Regular dressing and Neosporin powder will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You may need a stronger antibiotic than Moxikind if the infection is severe. Regular dressing is also needed to remove all the debris and dead tissue. You can apply neosporin powder to fasten the healing.
Hope my answer is helpful.
