hello patient,
I read your surgery history & current pus discharge too.
You might be having diabetes that's why you caught infection after surgery.
Pus drainage & Antibiotics will help to heal cellulitis .
Conclusion you should go for diabetes blood sugar level lab test and continue Antibiotics & doctor observation
Wish you rapid recovery
thanks
regards
