Hello, Thanks for the query. For cellulitis he is already on suitable antibiotic. What is more important is strict blood glucose control ( fasting <100mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% <6.8%), so please see that control is maintained. Any antibacterial cream is as good. thanks.

Cellulitis of both legs sould be treated effectively, for that srict blood sugar control is essential. Though augmentin and t-bact are very effective in such situations. You should consult a general surgeon if it is not responding to your treatment.
