Hi thanks for asking question. Cellulitis can be treated by general surgeon in kolkata. Here you have diabetics, so chances of infection with gram positive bacteria as well as anaerobe. Ceftriaxone like antibiotic along with metronidazole has to be taken.Short course of intravenous antibiotic also needed. Daily dressing is necessary. Certain home remedy also helpful like application of coconut oil over affected area has soothing effect. Mix turmeric powder in honey and drink it.It has antiseptic effect. Garlic also is a good antimicrobial. Echinacea in the form of cream is also helpful in cellulitis by improving immunity. I hope my suggestions will help you.
