What Causes Persistent Itching On The Leg While Suffering From Cellulitis?
Hi, I contracted cellulitis somehow in Cyprus at the start of April, I took 2 courses of antibiotics, it is visibly gone, but the area on my leg is still itchy and my ankles swell sometimes. I went to the hospital a few weeks ago, they didn t do any particular tests and were pretty disinterested but said it seems to be healing. Is there any way I can be more certain its gone? Thanks for your help, Judy
