for the last 10 years I have got cellulitis in my leg once or twice a year

I first had it when I was 40

I always get prescribed antibiotics and it goes away

When I first had it I had tests and no-one could find the cause and my GP said I would have to live with it

this weekend it developed and the emergency GP says I should be given some medication to stop it happening again. I need to see my gp

any ideas what he is talking about and what the treatment is
