    If it gets worse though, then you need to see them. As I said, it's unlikely to be cellulitis but if it is then the antibiotics required are not available OTC. This sort of thing isn't wasting their time!

    I won't bother, don't want to take up their time. Thanks for the help.

    It's possible, though most of the time these reactions are due to an allergic-type response rather than infection, it can be very hard to tell the difference. I would suggest you see your GP; they may end up giving you antibiotics anyway just to be on the safe side.

    Hey, I got 1% hydrocortisone and anti-allergy tablets and having been using/taking them. However, the redness and swelling is still increasing. Is it possible I may have cellulitis?
