Hello,
Stopping the medicine may not lead to the cellulitis but the other reasons. Having a Doppler test performed will be advised and reassessment of the blood and urine is advised. Post which medicine will be advised based on the clinical findings.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
