Suggest Treatment For Cellulitis On The Shoulder Causing Severe Pain
I went to my PCP on Wed 3/2 and was told I had facial cellulitis. Given 7 days of Augmentin, my face was burning and swollen for two days especially around my eyes. I had one spot on my chin that was weeping. Currently my face is peeling and only slightly red. but now it seems to be on my shoulder. It is painful not itchy. I called my PCP who wants to send me to a dermatologist but the first appointment is not for a week. Should I go to an emerga care and see if I can get another script for some more antibiotics or just wait.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if it is not the infection then antibiotic will not be helpful, here the important is diagnosis and it can be some allergic disorders, may be auto immune responsive may be due to some systemic cause, hope this information helps.
