Seek MD care: 48 year old lady status post treatment for cellulitis, now with weeping open wounds. Please seek reevaluation by a physician immediately. It sounds like you need immediate treatment and a detailed medical history and physical exam. Please always put your medical history, medications, surgical history, and more information such as onset and duration of your condition for more accurate advice.

Venous stasis: It's likely there are problems with veins in the legs. Leads to swelling & weeping painful wounds. Sometimes infection on top of this ("cellulitis") but until veins are addressed no reasonable expectation of healing. At a minimum elevation and compression bandages should be used. If available ultrasound with "reflux studies" will show vein problems and how to treat them. Hope this helps.
