Hi, I have skin cellulitis around my ankle area on right leg from last one week. The swelling and reddishness is not getting reduced even after one week of antibiotics. I suffered from skin cellulitis while playing cricket where I suffered bruises on my leg near ankle area. Please advise me with the treatment and also should I keep the bruise open or do the dressing. Thank you.

Ankle pain. Our suggestion would be to do hot water fermentation along with Cold (ice) therapy. You shall also keep a pillow under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes.
