[|AI|]  Thank you for your pertinent question. I appreciate your concerns and have a few queries of my own. From your post, it seems like you have been on antibiotics for the cellulitis since November 2010, is that correct ? That is a very long time.! If the cellulitis has resolved, there is no need to continue antibiotics beyond a maximum of 14 days treatment, unless it is caused by non-tuberculous mycobacterium for which 6 months of the treatment you are taking would suffice. Please do stop your medication if you have no cellulitis, as prolonged antibiotics can produce problems of your own. For your hair loss, I would advise folic acid tablets daily, a high protein and iron rich diet, and some stress relieving activity such as exercise, yoga or meditation as high stress is a major cause of hair fall. Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further questions.
