First find out the other disease like DM. If you are suffering from DM then treat accordingly. IF cellulitis become formed pus, you may treat by surgical drainage with antibiotic cover like inj. flucloxacillin or meropenem+ vancomycin. if only boil or cullulitis without pus, only take oral flucloxacillin.
