Brief Answer:
Not cellulitis, most probably small vessel vasculitis
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs.
It is not cellulitis.
Most probably it is small vessel vasculitis.
It can occur secondary to some infection in the body, due to medicines or sometimes without any cause.
I would recommend you to consult a doctor and get complete work up done to find out the cause.
Are you having any other symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, breathlessness, urinary problems?
Meanwhile you can continue with the medicines you are taking.
