I am Dr.Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
No, probiotics are natural intestinal commensals and they don't cause cellulitis. Probiotics help restore the depleted intestinal bacteria while on oral antibiotics.
Recurrent cellulitis can be due to causes like uncontrolled diabetes, immunodeficiency, malignancy and chronic diseases.
