Hello. I just read through your question. It seems that the treatment plan for the cellulitis was the correct one. It is good that the redness has gone down. The bump you describe will take longer to resolve. As long as it continues to remain painless, the medicine you were given is enough. Pus does not have to come out of it in order for it to resolve.
