Hello dear
I understand your concern
Cellulitis is due to bacterial infection like staphylococcus or streptococci.
Clindamycin will help in the treatment.
It help in the resolution of infection so complete the full course of the treatment.
Apply warm pad application so it become soft.
If not resolves by antibiotic then should be removed by putting incision under the advice of your doctor
Hope this may help you
