Suggest Treatment For Skin Discoloration On Legs And Feet Due To Cellulitis

3 years ago, I had cellulitis 4 different times thru one calendar year. Now, I haven t had an outbreak for years but I suffer from really bad skin discoloration and blackening patches on both lower legs ankles and foot up to the tow. I notice some days are darker than the others. I ve asked drs and no one can tell me what to do. Can you advise me on what I should do or how can I get my feet/lower legs looking normal again? Please
