Hi, It may be due to cellulitis and DVT is another possibility. You have to consult a general surgeon and plan for a lower limb Doppler. Cellulitis will respond well with antibiotics and nothing much to worry about it. As of now do limb elevation and compression stockings. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
