Hello I have studied your case. As per your history and symptoms possibility of cellulitis can be considered. Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be confirmed, antibiotic can be started according to examination. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. Take precaution to avoid spread of infection. Only x-ray foot may not help. He may further advise investigation like blood test and arterial color Doppler or foot perfusion scan. You may need to go to ER if there is severe circulation problem. Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of health and normal functioning of the nerve tissue. You can increase B12 level by taking meat and fish, or you can take In methylcobalamine. Hope this answers your query.
