I recently had cellulitis on lower part of my leg, doctors have said it was extreme case, I spent 4 weeks in hospital , and since a there appears to be red marks left, which I have been told may take a year to disappear. Also leg is prone to swelling and I have to wear a support, is the swelling going to last for ever ?

Cellulitis

I'd like to know the answer to your question also. I was only in the hospital for 4 days and I thought that was bad enough. I have a blood vessel in my leg near my ankle that was irritated during the bout and it still is, i'm wondering if it will ever get better.
