Cellulitis: You don't from my standpoint. If it is cellulitis it needs treatment with antibiotics. It may even need sugical treatment as well. You need to be seen and evaluated.

Usually not well.: Cellulitis is inflammation of cells, mainly an area of tissue that usually has bacterial infection. It can be from other causes. If abscessed, there is usually a need for opening the abscess and meds may not b needed. Cool pack may help, warm packs may help. Good washing with soap and water may help. Anti-inflammatories may help. Elevation may help. If fever, streaking or ill, get seen.
