Tattoo cellulitis

2018-07-12 14:07:36
I was diagnosed with cellulitis on Monday by my primary care after getting a tattoo on Friday. I have taken a total of 7 pills of cephalexin 500mg since Monday night. I have progress photos of the leg and redness. My question is that the redness has become smaller, but it’s seems like more bright red? I guess you could say. Should I be worried?
