Sorry to hear that. Yes, cellulitis is painful. Have to just lay low, take meds and stay warm. Age old medical wisdom we all have for sure. Take care. Irish

Hi  :)
I empathise. I got cellulitis on a leg once. Antibiotics are the way to go. Hope yours work quickly!

Take care - Scottie  :)

I hear it's painful. Take good care of yourself!!

Also make sure there is no ring around a bite area .. possibility of having had a tick bite (nymphs are out in most places).
