Infection: It is not O.K. Check your temperature and if it is elevated (38 c and up), call your physician or go to the nearest emergency physician. Your cellulitis may not be responding to the antibiotics.

Resistant bug: You may have a bacteria resistant to the antibiotic you are on, or you may have developed an abscess (infected pocket) that antibiotics do not treat. Either way, you need to be evaluated by a physician.

What's the cause?: Cellulitis is an inflammation (red, hot swollen and tender) of the skin and soft tissues. It can be caused by many things such as bacteria, sunburn, vein disease and trauma all of which have different treatments. Depending on where it occurs and what is the cause, the treatment changes. If you keep having recurrences, the treatments are wrong, seek another opinion. Try profore instead of unna's.
