Three times: Two- four times daily should be adequate but it's not dangerous to use.

Waste of time: Cellulitis is when the soft tissues get inflammed (red, hot, swollen and tender) due to bacteria or another cause such as sunburn, trauma, etc. If your skin is not open, then using good soap and water to the area will work as well as hibiclens. If open, then the hibiclens is actually slowing down the healing. Traumatizing the area > 1x/day in the attempt to "clean" it is only causing more trauma.
