Hello sweetheart. I just got a part of it healed and it pops up somewhere else. I have had it before and had to go into hospital on an IV drip, but I noticed that red line tracking up my arm then and knew it was serious.
I am keeping it bandaged and have just finished a second course of antibiotics but that doesnt seem to have gotten rid of it.
I will continue on and just have to watch to see if that red track appears; if it doesnt I will just hope my system is coping.
Thanks for asking hon. I did get some Manuka honey 30+ off the internet sent to my place but that was $50 including postage. I will keep going with that.
Much love,
Biggs. xxoo

I'm surprised the honey hasn't weaved it's magic by now. Wow 30+ I thought it only went up to 25, must be surgeons strength stuff you have there!
It does take forever for cellulitis to clear, so do keep on with it as it stops it spreading to other parts. Also drink it in fairly hot-ish water, but watch you don't burn your lips or they'll be 2 problems to fix!!
My daughter went through the exact same thing - as she's diabetic. It took a while for hers to clear too, about 3 months 'til it finally went. So hang on in there, it will clear eventually.

Woops skywatcher, it wasn't Manuka it was Australian Jellybush honey that is 30+ active. It comes from Stradbroke Island which is off the Gold Coast in Queensland.
I did a google search and there were studies saying it had more active properties than Manuka so I thought I would try that. Keep this in mind if anything crops up again. I will let you know how I go with it. xxoo
Got my mum living with me at the moment too. She is 89 and had a knee replacement four weeks ago and is still not on her feet so I am looking after her. xo
