I have just been diagnosed with cellulitis
to my face, and am now on antibiotics to
cure it. My question is, as my face has
really swollen up around my eyes and my
skin has become very blotchy and very
course to touch, could you recommend a
face cream to bring my skin back to its
usual soft condition? I feel very
embarressed going to work with it.
I might be more concerned about face
cellulitis prognosis and possible
complications with this disorder than with
appearance. When the infection is cured,
your face and skin will become normal. You
can apply antibiotic ointment (prescribed
by your doctor) on your skin to help clear
the infection.
