What are the chances of cellulitis recurring once you had it?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Cellulitis can commonly occur after having some kind of skin trauma (cut, bite, etc). Having cellulitis once does not predispose you to getting it again. But you are at risk of getting it with any skin trauma.

Can happen.: Cellulitis can recur in the same location if there's a persistent predisposition (cut, fungal rash), or if the antibiotic was not appropriate for the bacterium involved.
