I’ve got lipolypodema, and varicose veins. In my right leg I have a swollen painful lump, I’ve been given antibiotics before and told its cellulitis! It doesn’t feel warm this time like there is an infection, should I still get it checked out?

Yes. Get it checked out. Could be blood clot, infection, inflamed vein, anything! Best not to ignore it, especially if you’ve had cellulitis before.

Cellulitis and an inflamed vein!

Hope it's settling down now. All the best xo

It is thanks

I’ve still got the lump, I’ve been told it’s phebritils, and being treated with ulcer bandages

Been for an ultrasound on the lump, waiting for results

Ultrasound came back clean, been referred to a vascular doctor
