A member asked:
Day 6 on bactrim antibiotics for cellulitis on my tush. is it normal for skin to peel and bleed? does this mean it's healing ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cellulitis: It is normal for the skin to peel with cellulitis. Please send photo to be sure it is not worsening with the bleeding part. Did you mark the area with a black marker to see if injection is extending borders? Send photo asap to help be sure it is not worsening. Do you have any fevers.
