Hi Tua,
You seem to have MULTIPLE PYODERMA which is getting converted into CELLULITIS.
It is a medical emergency. The next stage, if not properly treated in SEPTICAEMIA.
So I suggest you to consult you doctor immediately. You need to started on aggressive antibiotic therapy. You will also be asked to get the following tests done. Complete Blood Count, Urine routine, Fasting Blood Sugar, Post Prandial Blood Sugar (2 hours) etc.
The medicines, which your doctor would start, are a combination of oral and injectables – Antibiotics and Pain Killers. Local Application of Antiseptic Cream may also help.

do i need to go to ER ?
Hi! Tua,
Yes, sorry but yes. You need good antibiotics, which may not be available without prescription in US. Also the antibiotic may have to be injected.
Kindly understand the seriousness.
