See doc: True cellulitis is an infection and will require antibiotics to heal. As acute infection subsides, light compression will often help with swelling. Sometimes venous insufficiency can cause cellulitis, or dermatitis and this may be treated differently- steroid cream for dermatitis. Best for your doc to see and make a plan.

What's the cause ?: Cellulitis is basically a visible inflammation (itis) of the skin and soft tissues (red, hot, swollen and tender) . It can be caused by many things including sunburn (radiation), trauma (sprained ankle) or poor vein circulation (stasis dermatitis). It need not be caused by bacteria. If you have repeated episodes of this, get to a wound care or vascular specialist, the diagnoses you have is wrong.
