Hello,
Cellulitis is a rapidly spreading infection which has to be managed properly. IV antibiotics are the mainstay of the treatment. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. Make sure that the blood sugar level is well within the normal limits because uncontrolled blood sugar may complicate the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
