A member asked:
Ok so my cellulitis is healing pretty good but a lot of pus is oozing from the spot it started and there are scabs around it is that normal? or not???

Cellulitis: Sounds like you have an abscess which is draining some. See your family doc. The site probably needs opened and flushed. Of course, why do you have a cellulitis in the first place? Diabetes, morbid obesity. Address the root cause(s).
