Does Pinkish Color Of Foot Indicate Cellulitis Despite Ongoing Medication?

Hi, I had a severe case of celluitis and have been on antibiotics for 24 days and my foot still has a pink hue to it. It has improved a lot but the color difference between my two feet has me concerned. I still have 6 days left of meds, if my foot is still pinkish do I still have the infection?
