Recurring Cellulitis in Lower Limb

2021-05-10 10:54:42
Hi Doctors, I have had a second episode of Cellulitis in my lower limb, I am unable to figure out what can be the suspected causes since my sugar levels are good, I have no family history of diabetes and all my blood work comes out to be normal. Each time this happened I had to visit the doctor to get the underlying pus drained.

Hi... Cellulitis doesn't have pus. You might be suffering from a different disease. Need details for a proper diagnosis and further management. You can consult if you like.

Could you share the reports? Will like to study the earlier diagnosis and symptoms before giving an opinion.
