Just some advice in case your Doc did not have the time to tell you...

1) Stay on the antibiotics till you are completely healed (this is kind of new and has developed with the advent of very hard to control MRSA)
2) Don't forget to treat the fungal infection (your antibiotics are covering most likely the bacterial infection and in order to really get rid of the fungal athletes foot you need a systemic anti-fungal medication that your Doc can prescribe after the cellulites is over)
3) Do not manipulate the wound (this is new too; in the old days it was scrub it out lance it dig around and drain it but with MRSA around you have to be more careful - Let your Doc do the digging if it gets to that)
4) Now the old school:
a. Vit C 1000mg twice a day till healing starts then 500mg twice a day till healed, acid Ph
b. Butter Milk, dirty cheese or some kind of other live lacto bacilli twice a day
c. 100% Cotton big bulky loose bandage if you need a bandage, creates a magic field of healing
d. Zantac 150mg at least once a day; reduces general inflammation via blockage of histamine
e. Eat well nutritious meals and think good thoughts
f. Again - IT IS NOT OVER TILL IT IS COMPLETELY HEALED!!!

I have a pretty good record for treating cellulites in the Central Texas area but I treat them all aggressively even if they do not have underlying medical conditions like age, diabetes or PVD - GOOD LUCK
