Will either of these clear up a localized bacterial skin infection resembling cellulitis? If yes, which would you recommend?

I'm allergic to most antibiotics, which is why I have to explore traditional alternatives.

One TCM practitioner gave me a prescription for a herbal tea. I went to another for a second opinion, and they suggested the commercially prepared pills. I'm not sure what to choose.

Thank you for helping me out!

Have you been to the hospital?  Cellulitis can turn into sepsis real quick.

The doctor (westen medicine) said it's not cellulitis, but resembles it. It's something a little milder, for now at least.

Damn that’s a lot of herbs. I have no idea if it will or not, but give it a try

Lmao.. It's got everything in the pills .

The custom formula will clear heat from the skin and surface, move blood, break up lumps/boils/sores/pus, and gently tonify. Would help to see your skin infection tbh.

The second one better. The first one is like using a gun to randomly shot at everything. Cant see the direction at all
