Hello,

As per your history, It may be cellulitis.

For that I would suggest you to do discharge culture sensitivity, complete hemogram.

As per report you may require antibiotics. Along with that do regular cleaning and dressing. Maintain proper hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
