A member asked:
I had cellulitis on elbow 2 mos ago. treated w/ antibiotics. all visible symptoms & pain gone but it sometimes burns/aches for a sec. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: Cellulitis is a skin infection and it causes swelling and other changes in the skin and surrounding tissues. You are probably experiencing some post residual inflammatory changes that have made the nerves in the area hypersensitive and should go away with time . If not go see your doctor.
