Hello i hv cellulitics on left leg. all rashes has been gone but swelling... swelling is till there & it almost one month m suffering from it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic lymphedema: Your lymphatic system that drains fluids from various body parts was likely inflamed during the cellulitis. The resulting leg swelling can take months to years to forever to completely resolve. Use compression hose, elevate leg as much as possible above level of heart and consider use of a compression machine or massage to reduce the fluid burden. Consult with a vascular surgeon may be helpful.
