I had cellulitis on my leg. Nothing touched it until they put me on clindamycin. Then it cleared up within 14 days. You have my utmost sympathy because it hurts like hell.

I don't know if they warned you or not but taking antibiotics can unbalance the good bacteria in your body and cause tummy/bowel upsets and yeast infections. It's always a good idea to talk to your doc and find if you can take a probiotic while on the antibiotic. You usually have to juggle your timing because you can't take them within (I think) 6-8 hours of each other.
