How Can Cellulitis Be Treated?
I have cellulitis from an abrasion and am on antibiotics, clindamycin. The affected area looks much better and is no longer painful, but there s still a pink zone. If that is not completely cleared up by the end of the antibiotic course, and should I see a doctor again?

Hello welcome to the health care magic
As per history you are probably having superficial skin bacterial infection
For that oral antibiotic course taken like cefixime or Amoxiclav
Topical antibiotic can be applied
If no improvement than Consult general surgeon for examination and further treatment accordingly
Take care
Hope this will help you
