Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Itching is not a sign of cellulitis - so this could be a side effect of your medication. Have you checked to see? You can look up the side effects online. Itching is a sign of healing for many skin conditions, you can ask your doctor if this is normal. We can't say if the itching is due to healing or the medication.
Best,
Susan
